1. To The Human Resources Manger
I am a self-motivated and team-oriented individual with ten years’ experience in high
speed production environments. I am extremely passionate and dedicated about
managing machine operations, with strong interest in embodying professionalism on
delivering accurate results. I have proven ability to perform repetitive work quickly
and perfectly. I have in-depth knowledge of safety practices and hazards related to
machine operations.
I was initially an assistant to the press operator, then I qualified for an apprentice. I
did my studies in Cape Town Impi College of printing, and thereafter I served my
apprenticeship at Intrepid Printers and worked from a one colour press to a four
colour press. In 2012 I was employed at Interpak Books as a four colour and later
became a ten colour press operator. I am also the shift supervisor and apprentice
trainer.
I am an experienced printer who has worked on various printing machines. Please
find attached my C.V. which gives a background of myself and my experience. A copy
of my qualifications can be provided upon request.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions and require more
information.
Yours faithfully

PERSONAL STRENGTHS
My most important strength I would say is my dedication to my work. I always
ensure I work to the best of my ability and to the highest standard. I push myself to
ensure I better my work rates and manage to always meet tight deadlines with ease.
My ability to work independently and also as a team player makes me an invaluable
asset to any organisation. My strong work ethics and passion to excel is always
eminent in my work. It is for this reason I have managed to vary the printing
machines I operate from one colour to 4 colour, including perfecting as well as 10
colour.
