Sample cover letter for Full Time position at Global Water Partnership

Dear Human Resources Manager,

I am applying for the position of Programme Assistant, posted by your organization to the UNjobfinder. I will graduate with my Masters in May. I am confident that my core skills, education, and diverse professional experiences will make me an ideal candidate to be a part of the team at the GWP. My passion for integrated water resource management, and strengthening the adaptation and resilience to climate change of the most vulnerable communities globally fits well with the mission of the GWP.

I provided project management and technical support for sustainable fisheries project team during my Peace Corps service. In this dynamic environment requiring high degree of flexibility I have strengthened my project management skills such as planning activities, budgeting, managing timelines and collaborating with government agencies. I employed my interpersonal skills to facilitate communication between the project implementation and the research team. During the same service I successfully collaborated with the local communities and coordinated the implementation of grant funded water supply facilities to provide drinking water for children at two local schools. I enjoy working with culturally and socially diverse teams, which allows me to built positive and lasting relationships.

During my internship at the international organization strong organizational and multitasking skills were an asset in completing the tasks and projects on time under the tight deadlines. I continue to build these skills through the leadership roles in student organizations at the University. A quick learner who enjoys problem solving and new challenges, I have successfully strengthened writing, analytical and computer skills through my academic and professional career, which makes me a versatile team member.

I am confident that my diverse experiences, proven project management and communication skills, and professional work ethic constitute a strong foundation to perform successfully as a Programme Assistant and contribute to the organization’s rewarding work. I welcome the opportunity discuss my skills in more depth and look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your consideration.
