Dear Miss Chiang,

Application for the Position of Associate Project Manager

I chanced upon the Covance website and learnt that you are currently recruiting people for the position of Associate Project Manager.  I am very much interested and would like to apply for the position.

Being from a Bachelor with merit (Chemistry major), planning and organizing my time well is a crucial skill as I am required to manage my time wisely and to plan my actions ahead of time. It includes the planning of my actions from the start of the experiment to the final milestone of drafting up a proper report.

Besides my field of study, my participation in student leader clubs and societies like the National University Student Science Club had further hone my skills of presentation, teamwork and planning. As part of a planning executive team in the Student Orientation Week 2010 and a publicity executive in Dinner and Dance 2011, we were tasked to come up with a detailed programme layout with a few others. This requires coordination with many different departments within the committee and attention to small details. It emphasizes the importance of teamwork and the urgency to resolve any interpersonal conflicts, which is essential in the scope of the job. Constant presentations of my ideas during the club activities had empowered me with the confidence to speak in public and to question when in doubt.

Generally, I love to work with people. Cooperation is the key to greater achievements. I am quality conscious and determined once I set my goals.

I strongly believed that both involvements in event coordination had served well as a learning platform for me and I will be able to handle the challenges presented in this job. I believe these qualities are essential as an associate project manager and that I have what it takes to fulfil this duty perfectly.

I have attached my resume and relevant documents for your consideration. I can be contacted at 90907359. I hope to receive your reply soon. Thank you.

Yours sincerely,
Terence Kee
