CV FOR YOUR ATTENTION
The purpose of this CV is for the consideration of any possible employment programs offered in the
field or related field of quality assurance/control or occupational health and safety.
As a graduate with a B.Sc. from Stellenbosch University, and as a current Master’s student in
Occupational Hygiene, I believe I am an excellent candidate to work at this institute. Occupational
Hygiene is a very extensive qualification provided by the North-West University wherein human
health and safety is a primary focus, all the while including studies in legislation such as the
Occupational Health and Safety Act (85 of 1993) and the Mine Health and Safety Act (29 of 1996).
My current Masters dissertation is focused on the health effects of additive manufacturing (3D
printing) on operators of these machines, a study funded by the CSIR and the Department of Science
and Technology of the NWU. In 2013 I was enrolled at UCT in their Honours program in Nutrition
and Dietetics for the first semester but I left due to personal reasons. During my studies there I learnt
valuable information concerning food safety, HACCP principles and food service management. I
would still consider myself to be very knowledgeable in this field through personal study as well and
I have a keen interest in food safety and quality. Due to the extensive amount of management,
administration and organization that it requires to complete a Master’s degree, I believe any
employment in this direction would greatly advance the business that I work at.
I am available, should you require any further information. Thank you for taking the time to consider
my CV. I eagerly await your response.
Yours faithfully,
Grace Adams.

2. PERSONAL PROFILE
I am a very caring and open person who enjoys meeting new people and lending a helping hand. I
have a passion for the safety and health of others while being dedicated, loyal and trustworthy to
always fulfill commitments and pursue anything with zeal, to the best of my ability. When the decision
has been made to pursue a task, I give 100%, and will not stop until the job has been completed well.
I enjoy people and pride myself on my verbal and written communication skills. Possessing the
abovementioned character traits easily equips me to become an asset to any business or service
provider.

3. 3. CAREER GOAL/OBJECTIVE
I would like to be employed at a company where I can invest the skills I have obtained throughout my
studies in human health and safety; an environment where I can share my passion for people and their
wellbeing, all the while maintaining company integrity and assisting in creating an atmosphere that is
mindful of the importance of a safe work environment - to the benefit of both the employee and the
employer. My goal is to gain as much work experience in the field of occupational health and safety,
to train the workforce and employers in necessary health and safety procedures and risks, and to
eventually branch out into quality control (I intend to enroll in the short learning programme in total
quality management through UNISA in 2017). I originally studied in the direction of occupational
hygiene but I intend to go into quality, food safety or occupational health and safety as I am about to
be married in November and would much rather a work place with less extensive travel involved. My
occupational hygiene qualifications far outweigh that of traditional health and safety programs/courses
offered due to its vast coverage of human health, workplace risks and an all-encompassing
understanding of legislation as well as workplace and biological stressors on the human being. In 2013
I was enrolled at UCT in their Honours program in Nutrition and Dietetics for the first semester but I
left due to personal reasons. During my studies there I learnt valuable information concerning food
safety, HACCP principles and food service management. This study area still holds great interest to
me and I would like to further any studies in this field through short learning programmes such as ISO
22000.
