Dear Sir.

CV FOR YOUR ATTENTION

I’m writing this cover letter for my CV to tell my future employers who I am and what I stand

for.

I am currently busy with my Honours Degree in Bcom. International trade at the North West

University of Potchefstroom. While doing my degree in Bcom. Communication Management,

I realised that I do not only have a passion for marketing and communication, but also for

Trade. By taking the opportunity to take additional subject, a managed to do my honours in

what I love.

Academics has always been very important to me. Knowledge is one thing that no one can

take away from you. Therefore I consider myself as a real hard worker which payed off. In

2015 I became a member of the Golden Key International Society and received various

certificates from the International Trade Institute of Southern Africa. From my CV you will

notice that I have obtained multiple skills throughout my years at university. I have not only

flourished from leadership positions, I have been a part of the Student Council Executive

Committee as well as on other committees. I have also done various projects which included

a full marketing campaign for an international known artist as well as communication plans for

different companies.

The ideal company that I would love to be a part of, is one that supports my innovative ideas

as well as giving me the opportunity to never stop gaining skills. I truly believe that teamwork

should be seen as a high priority in any company, as it is the key to ultimate success.

Thank you for your time. If your organisation need someone who is a hard worker and

someone who does what it takes to reach company goals, I might just be the one.
