"Where there's a will, there's Yotay"
To whom it may concern,
Getting a creative human being to write a cover/motivational letter is like pulling teeth when your wisdom tooth isn't ready to be taken out. It's a tough one, but it has to be done unfortunately. So here I am, writing a few details about myself in a country where the unemployment rate is currently sitting at 31.9%.
I am a super organized human being that is slightly OCD and a perfectionist when it comes to details of work. I am an all-rounder. I work towards my strengths such as being great at event planning, research, staying on top of pop culture trends, editing and amongst a few things under my sleeve from a shirt that is thrifted. I enjoy learning new things and sharing ideas with a team.
I am applying myself to this agency as I won’t just be a personality hire but actually bring some value to the company with my skills I have acquired throughout my time on Earth. In that time I have studied being a sommelier/mixologist, a teacher and have experience in Social Media/ Content Production. Metropolitan Republic gave me my first big break. Starting at the lion’s den has built grit in me. Beyond my professional qualifications, I bring a proactive and detail-orientated approach to problem solving. My dedication to excellence combined with passion, positions me as a dynamic candidate for roles that align with me.
I appreciate your time and consideration for my application. I look forward to hearing from you regarding the next steps in the application process.
Sincerely
Yotay's World
