It is with great enthusiasm that I apply for the position within your company.

EAGER TO LEARN NEW THINGS:

I am passionate about self-growth and upskilling.  I am a fast study.

HIGHLY ATTENTIVE TO DETAIL, HIGHLY ORGANIZED, EFFICIENT AND METICULOUS OFFICE ADMIN SKILLS:

I color-code my color-coding pens inside a color-coded pencil case.  I have Scrupulous attention to detail and a genuine concern for excellence. 

ABLE TO WORK ALONE WITHOUT SUPERVISION AND SEE JOBS THROUGH TO COMPLETION:

I’m not only used to wearing many hats, I sincerely enjoy it.  I thrive in a role where I can be flexible and responsive.

EXCELLENT COMMUNICATOR, FRIENDLY, HOSPITABLE AND A PLEASANT DISPOSITION:  I am fluent in English, Afr, and run for your life (I’ve already mapped out all emergency exits – that’s a joke!). My interpersonal techniques enable me to communicate with people from diverse backgrounds and age groups.  With the super power of high emotional intelligence, I can recognize changes in moods, which allows me to be more prepared for possible volatile situations.

I’ve always had a knack for communicating with people and am able to quickly build relationships which are fundamental in the work place.

Medium to long term career goals:

It is crucial to develop professionally, therefore, I am actively completing additional online courses to upskill and be in the know. 

I am looking to find a company where I can apply myself, become an asset and ascend to a managerial or supervisory role.

If you think I might be a fit, let’s talk more.

I began as an Early years Teacher/Assistant Supervisor and had earned a promotion to Manager after a year. When the second school was launched, I was appointed Manager for both branches. As the Manager and Stand-In teacher of two early years center sites, I led a team of educators to provide high-quality care and education to children aged 0-6, ensuring compliance with curriculum frameworks and regulatory standards, I effectively managed day to day operations including staff supervision, parent communication and resource allocation, while also teaching and engaging with children to promote tie learning and development. Through my leadership and teaching expertise, I maintained a nurturing and inclusive environment that fostered children’s growth, curiosity and creativity.

As a Racing Stable, Office and Stable Manager, I successfully oversaw the daily operations of a professional racing stable, ensuring the smooth management of administrative task, horse care, and team supervision. Supporting the Trainer, I coordinated horse training, racing schedules, and veterinary care, while also handling financial management, marketing and client communications. Through my expertise and attention to detail, I maximized efficiency, productivity, and profitability, while maintaining a high level of professionalism and integrity in the racing industry.

As a General Manager at a tyre fitment shop, I helped launch and thereafter, oversaw daily operations, lead a team of technicians and sales staff, and implemented strategies to drive sales growth and customers satisfaction. I managed inventory control, ensure compliance with industry regulations and maintained high standards of quality and safety. Through effective leadership and process improvements, I increased efficiency, reduced costs, and enhanced the overall customer experience.

As a Business Development Manager, I drive growth and revenue through strategic market analysis, relationship building and innovative solution implementation.  I identify and pursue new business opportunities, foster partnerships and led a cross-functional team to achieve sales and customer acquisition goals.  With a keen eye for market trends and a talent for negotiation, I consistently delivered results that exceeded expectations and propelled business success

In the last few years I have developed a curious mind and have acquired the following certificates and diplomas which allow me to be incredibly versatile and adaptable in my roles.
