5. COVER LETTER
Dear prospective employer,
I’m hardworking, goal oriented and always up for a challenge. I’m able to work in a team as
well as on my own.
I’ve worked for various managers and departments, with my duties differing between admin,
secretarial work and sales. Because of career opportunities, personal reason and restructuring
I have been able to move between departments over the years, and managed to learn
something from every department.
I am a social person and can communicate with ease with people; young and old. I’m able to
plan effectively and apply initiative to the workplace.
