Sample cover letter for Full Time position at Government

Human Resource Unit- Programme Officer III

March 04, 2015

Dear ,

I wish to express my interest in the position advertised as Program Assistant. I have spent the last four years working under various in donor funded initiatives geared towards promoting youth employment which contribute substantially the development of social infrastructure and sustainable development. My background is one of a variation of skills and interests which highlight my abilities in capacity building, leadership and management, flexibility, initiative and independent work.

As the Admistrative Assistant for the former Institute of Music Advancement (IMA) with sole responsibility for managing the daily operations, including financial reporting, scheduling and coordination of activities, I developed my management skills and ability to prioritize. During my previous position as Counselor at XXX Company, I also acted in the position of Research Specialist with responsibility for overseeing and assisting in the development of the organisations procedural manual, employee manual, trainee hand book, health and safety manual and training provider hand book. I have also managed the Training Department throughout the company’s transition period. As the Head Counselor, my current role includes assisting project managers in the planning and implementation of youth employment projects. I have also gained experience as a consultant to the USAID for preparation and adaptation of training modules for the OECS Skills project, and with the CARICOM Education for Employment Program (CEFE) in the development of a regional Career Development Tool Kit.

I am nearing completion of a Master’s in Business Administration along with training in project management methodology and remain committed to on-the-job learning. By virtue of my employment and volunteer experience, aptitude, personality and professional interests, I reckon that I can contribute significantly to the Regional Integration Unit.

As an enthusiastic candidate, I would welcome an opportunity to meet you to discuss this position. I can be contacted via email [email protected] or via telephone number 728-00000.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Jenes Doe
