Cover Letter

  • Dear Sir/Madam
  • Thank you for taking the time to read through my CV, while it illustrates my experiences in Personal Assistance, Office Manager, Executive ALL Round Office Administration, Production Planning and HR & Payroll, what it cannot communicate is my dedication and commitment to my work.
  • I take extreme pride in the quality of my work and a willingness to personally perform the most basic tasks and challenges that might arise, which give me the opportunity to use my initiative to get any task assigned to me done efficiently and timeously.
  • I am strongly committed to achieving my goals and work extremely hard at reaching all goals set for me without failing to give up.
  • I firmly believe “what You Put in, You will get out” In saying that I am a Go-Getter, no work is ever too much for me to handle and I endeavor to always give my utmost best in everything set before me, albeit in my work or personal life.
  • A short summary of myself: I am an honest, hard-working, goal orientated individual, dedicated, loyal and a trustworthy person. I learn quickly and im capable to take on any task given to me. I am not a clock-watcher and if I need to work late or over weekends, I always see it as an opportunity to grow and learn more.
  • I enjoy a challenge and pride myself on overcoming that challenge in the most efficient and effective route possible. From my point of view, it is seen as a learning curve to accept head on, which solely increases my potential path to accelerate personal growth. This creates an extremely valuable motivator in order to achieve all goals, tasks and deadlines set out in front of me.
  • As an outgoing person with a bubbly personality and a vibrant sense of humor, I get along with people from all walks of life and build long term relationships with both my colleagues as well as my clients.
  • My goal and focus is to find a job at a reputable company as well as an exciting company like yours, where there will be opportunities for me to grow and add value to your company.
  • I would like to welcome the chance of an interview where we would be able to discuss the positive asset I would be to your already successful company.
  • Thank you for considering my CV.
  • Yours Faithfully
  • Jade Bruce
