To Whom It May Concern

I have spent the last four years after my studies working abroad, both in London and travelling Europe, United States of America and the Caribbean working on Super Yachts.

I am now returning to South Africa to further my career here. I am a young driven woman that is keen about the sales and marketing of products as well as having an eager eye for design.
I am an enthusiastic new talent in the world of business and look forward to new challenges that lie ahead. I am a gregarious person and enjoy utilizing these skills. I cope well with responsibility and like to make sure things get done to the highest standard possible.

I have been educated at one of the top schools and a leading design school in South Africa. After completing my diploma in Graphic Design, I felt that a Sales and Marketing course would broaden my outlook and increase my expertise in a field that I really enjoy and believe I will excel in.

After leaving school and starting my tertiary education I have had various part-time employments to help fund my studies.

I moved to London to broaden my horizons and to enhance my independence while travelling foreign countries on my own. This has allowed me to develop my understanding of various international approaches to problem solving, skill building and team work.
Before getting a permanent job as a Personal Assistant to a Director of a Charity I worked temporarily at various companies. Throughout this time I further improved my computer skills.

I then went on to working on Super Yachts to fulfil my ambition of travelling; here I learnt many different life skills that will carry me through different jobs.
I have dealt with people from various socio-economic backgrounds and have had to create relationships on a social and professional level with them.
Often working 18 - 22 hour days for up to 4 weeks at a time, I have become accustomed to long working hours. I have learnt to work until a job is done and not work fixed hours.

I am very well spoken and enjoy helping people as well as being hospitable.
Due to my fondness for people, I would love to pursue something that includes interaction with society.

Kind Regards
