If you believe in the pursuit of excellence, then I am interested in joining your company. I set high standards for
myself and expect them from others, especially the organisations that I work for. I look forward to an opportunity to add
to the list of already outstanding achievements, which are outlined in my CV.
From my CV, you will see that five years at a chemicals multinational have given me a solid business background.
I am responsible for my department's logistical planning, which has developed my organizational skills. However, I am
now looking for opportunities for further development and responsibility, which my present employer cannot offer.
As a commercially aware and linguistically trained university graduate, I have a broad range of employment ex-
perience at blue-chip companies in both the USA and Europe. I am dynamic and creative, with a strong team spirit and
leadership qualities. I have a proven record of working with individuals at all levels through highly developed interper-
sonal and communication skills.
