Curriculum Vitae for Farheen Jakhura

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am extremely interested in applying for the position that you have advertised within your company.

I am a very capable person that has gained many experiences and qualities through previous employment. These include, flexibility, punctuality, attention to detail, working well under pressure, the ability to meet all deadlines, working well as part of a team and as an individual, using own initiative, being sensitive to the needs of others, loyalty and efficiency.

Coming from such a multi-cultural society as the United Kingdom, I have met people from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds. This has helped me in becoming the accepting person that I am and I very much endeavour to apply equality in the work place as well as in everyday life.

My computer skills are of an above average level. This has been developed through my schooling as well as many years of working in the administration field. Every work place that I have been part of has had their own in-house database, thus I am used to learning, using and being able to maintain databases that are foreign to me. I am very familiar with using the Microsoft Office Package and internet explorer also.

I feel that working as part of your team would be very interesting for me in many respects and would allow me to further my knowledge, develop my skills and meet new professionals and people. I am confident that having me as part of your team would be beneficial for your company as I have many aspects to my character and experiences that would allow for the smooth running of the business.

Thank you very much in advance for considering this application.

Yours faithfully

Farheen Jakhura
