I am very much interested in human and community development and will be very willing to contribute to the objectives of this organization.
My areas of interests are education and primary health care development.
I read your advertisement with great interest and enthusiasm, as my skills and qualifications match your requirements for any position in World Conern International.
Please allow me to explain briefly the contribution I would make with your organization.
Throughout my 3+ year professional career I have demonstrated great skill and achievements in Administrative and Programme management, Research, supervising staff and working with high net worth clients, both of which require extra attention to the “people management” side of business. Through successfully managing both internal and external relationships, I have accelerated the achievement of goals and positioned myself as a valuable resource in a variety of situations.
In addition I have demonstrated proficiency in all core administration functions, including document preparation, internal/external communications, data and records management, meeting scheduling, and task prioritization. In short, I can manage tasks without supervision, juggle multiple tasks effectively, and maintain confidentiality with highly sensitive materials and matters.
I would bring to your district not only these skills, but also a positive, cooperative attitude that I have displayed throughout my career. I maintain calm under pressure and adapt to meet the unique needs of each organization.
Again, my resume will detail the required skills and background you seek. I would welcome the opportunity for an interview at your convenience, and I thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Yours Sincerely,
Nwalozie Arthur
That is such an important helpful resource that you just’re offering and also you give it away for free. I like seeing web sites that understand the value of offering a quality helpful useful resource for free. It?s the outdated what goes round comes round routine. Did you acquired a number of hyperlinks and I see numerous trackbacks?
nice post and very informative. definitely worth bookmarking
