My mother is French,and because my
father works for multinational company, I
grew up in four different countries.I did all
my schooling in French,but I also speak
(and write) fluent spanish and portuguese-
I can also understand(North African)
Arable, but speak it less well.
I realice that my background
(qualifications and experience) is probably
no better than that ofmany other
applicants, but I am particularly interested
in a marketing osition in a
telecommunications company, because I
have collected telephone cards ever since
they were first introduced,I have an
extensive collection, including cards from
17 different countries.

Mediterranean(Spain,
France,Italy,Greece) fpr ten weeks- In
1995,I went to Florida for a month,
and I speak six weeks in Bali i- 1996 I
have consequently met a great many

position in international marketing, and
that your company would have a great
deal to gain from employing me.
