I would like to propose my candidacy for any position that gives me an opportunity to learn and grow. I believe that I can become one of the best candidates because I am a dedicated, hardworking, goal driven young woman who pays great attention to detail. My long term career goal is to continue to learn and grow my skills and abilities, whilst utilizing my experience, knowledge and skills to benefit any employer I am working for. I have obtained my bachelor of Arts degree at the university of Pretoria. This degree entails modules that teach one about human behavior and social patterns. It incorporates English as well as computer literacy modules. Through this degree my writing and typing skills were sharped, my research skills were cultivated and my interpersonal skills were polished.
During the course of my degree I was fortunate enough to become a member of a non profit organisation that focuses on changing people’s lives through entrepreneurial action (Enactus). It is at Enactus where my passion for serving the public was ignited. As project leader and a part of the internal administration team at Enactus I acquired a number of skills. I learnt how to work with a team, conflict management skills, delegation, time management skills as well as ensuring that the project is constantly progressing. As part of the administration team I learnt how to compile agendas, minutes, memorandums, and keep record of attendance. My confidence was built and polished through sponsorship seeking, event organisation and project presentation on a national level. When I joined Enactus, my life changed for the better. I learnt there that a person does not have to be one dimensional, that the world is alive with opportunities and one simply has to grab them with both hands. It is all about finding what you love doing, acquiring the right skills and perfecting them.
I am one who loves learning therefore I am willing to learn and grow within any opportunity that I am afforded. I take well to constructive criticism. I am punctual and dedicated. I am a team player who is also very self motivated therefore I work well individually. I am warm and friendly yet professional.
My achievements thus far are rooted in my tireless hard work and impeccable time management skills. I am hungry for success, I am willing and ready to put in the hours necessary to work towards building a successful future for myself.
I am available for an interview at any time, and should you require any further information then please do not hesitate to contact me. In the meantime I thank you sincerely for taking the time to read my application, and I look forward to an opportunity to speak to you in more detail regarding the position.
