Dear Mr. /Mrs. /Ms. I’m contacting you regarding your advertisement for the vacant position of an administration officer. My interest in this position stems from my belief that I have the right combination of communication skills and high levels of organization that make me a superb candidate. I am a third year student at Cape Peninsula University of Technology studying towards a national diploma in Human Resources Management. I have completed my Diploma and currently awaiting Graduation in December. I am a very outspoken person, very enthusiastic and determined. I have served as the projects coordinator in the Student Christian Organisation because of my love for team work and improving our skills and knowledge in our everyday lives and because I love events and hosting gatherings. I have served as a publicity coordinator in the Student Christian Organisation because I love technical equipment and I find it easier to market, recruit and inform people about events, products or general company information on social media and it reaches people much more faster and easier and it is cost effective. I am the co-founder of an NPO Mantombi Wellness, an organisation mainly focusing on assisting teenage girls from disadvantaged families and communities in improving their education and lives and educating the females in our society about health and safe sexual intercourse practice. The main focus of Mantombi is to eradicate the rate of HIV, teenage pregnancy, drugs and alcohol abuse and abuse of any kind. It is vital for an organization to keep up with the times. To date I feel my strongest abilities are: Increasing employee retention by thoroughly maintaining a positive work environment Developing targeted outreach recruitment programs to recruit the best talent and meet all departmental hiring requirements Creating user-friendly application forms and questionnaires to be used by the organization during staff recruitment and interviewing. I consider myself to be a dedicated and dependable individual who retains excellent verbal and written communication skills. I feel that a relationship with your company would be mutually beneficial, as my educational background in Human Resources Management qualifications would make me a perfect fit for the vacant position, and would also allow me to refine my skills in a new working environment. I have no restriction on location and I’m quite willing to relocate and travel. I’m not entirely looking for employment for money gain but to also increase my knowledge in certain areas and gain work experience but living in these times is quite costly so I will be happy with just a fair amount that will ensure that I am happy and can afford my necessities. Although I am based in Cape Town, I’m quite available for interviews; I just have to know at least a week prior the interview. In closing, I would like to thank you for your time and attention, and I hope to have the chance to discuss the opening with you in person. Sincerely, Thandiwe Mtiki
