Dear Hiring-Professional,
Please consider the attached copy of my curriculum vitae as an application for the position. I believe that
having the opportunity to work for you can provide a platform for me to build my career and knowledge.
I am a suitable candidate for the abovementioned position as I am a diligent and consistent worker. I strive
for success and constantly seek a challenge which is what makes me an asset. My key strengths include:
strong organisation skills, paying attention to detail, being an affable person; as well as the ability to process
and perform work of a high calibre. In 2015 my position at Randsure Brokers as the life and investments
administrator showed that I am capable of communicating effectively with clients and have gained a
substantial amount of administrative experience in the insurance industry. In my second year of
employment, I am currently a financial planner and representative under supervision for Randsure Brokers,
which is evidence of my ability to learn and grasp knowledge quickly, as well as to adapt to change. Liaising
and consulting clients has introduced me to the necessary etiquette required in the practical aspect.
Apart from having a growing interest in the insurance industry, my love for dancing and baking and my
academic accomplishments in political science, accompanied by my belief of leading an active lifestyle by
attending gym and playing an active role in Church, helps me find a balance in fulfilling a duty to my
community, connecting with people and diversifying myself.
Thank you for taking the time to review my curriculum vitae. I look forward to hearing from you. Please
contact me should you require any further information or documentation.
Yours faithfully,
Lerlin Chanell Lewis
