Sample cover letter for Full Time position at Hilton

POSITION:

Finance trainee

I am a 23 year old Cameroonian who has been volunteering at Akintola Williams & Co for 17 months now. During my time there, I have learnt amongst other things to manage time efficiently and work effectively to meet deadlines.

I graduated fifteen months ago from the University of Buea with a first class degree in accountancy and also earned a certificate of academic excellence from the said university. She also holds a diploma in management accounting from the Chartered Institute of Management Accounting (CIMA).

During my four-year undergraduate training, I acquired several interpersonal and leadership skills such as: assertiveness, problem solving, verbal and non-verbal communication, team-spirit, respect for others and active listening as evidenced by reports which she obtained at the end of her six months internship and 129 hours of volunteerism.

I am very eager to learn, smart, ambitious and passionate about career and societal development. Which is why early this year, I enrolled for the CIMA professional qualification; I also participated in the Besali project which helped provide educational support to the indigenes of the Ikom village in the South West Region of Kenya.

I cannot over emphasise the reputation your organisation has as the leading organisation world at large. An organisation which holds values such as, hospitality, integrity, leadership, teamwork, ownership and now; which are coherent to my personal values.. It is therefore an ideal place where every purpose driven youth, endowed with ambition and enthusiasm for leadership growth would like to start their career.

While looking forward to learning from you and sharing my ideas on the sustainable development of your organisation, I wish you a merry Christmas in advance and a prosperous new year.
