Megan Viviers
Curriculum Vitae
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to express my interest in this position. I feel I would be suitable for this role because I am a neat, focused and determined individual who works well with structure and I have an eye for detail. I consider myself a trustworthy and reliable person. I trust my experience in the hospitality/food industry as well as being a previous small business owner will showcase my ability in discipline, perseverance, working well under pressure and time management skills. I am always willing to learn and grow as much as I possibly can. Being a previous small business owner has given me the opportunity to understand the importance of a well-structured financial process in business and would like to explore this field. It has also taught me that I do well in a management position as I can handle multiple tasks at a time.
I have completed a course in Basic Bookkeeping and Pastel, in which I have excelled, giving me the basic knowledge I need to understand the process of Creditors and Debtors, Cashbooks, General Ledgers and Trial Balance. I am enrolling for a CIMA qualification in Business Accounting that starts in March. I am fluent in Afrikaans (speech, grammar and writing) and fluent in English (Speech, grammar and writing).
Thank you for taking the time to consider my application. I am available for contact and/or interview at any time.
Should you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me on 082-***-****. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Megan
