Cover Letter

I am currently a qualified apprentice plumber seeking an exciting career change. Currently in my year as a fulltime apprentice, I have gained extensive hands-on experience in plumbing, including working with a variety of tools and materials, ensuring jobs meet client expectations, and building strong relationships with customers.


Throughout my career, I have developed the ability to work effectively independently, maintain a positive work environment, and uphold a company's reputation. I pride myself on being adaptable, eager to learn and possessing transferrable skills that allow me to quickly adjust to new tasks and challenges.


I have always been interested in the mining sector and am eager to pursue opportunities within this industry. I am fully committed to completing any necessary training or obtaining certifications to meet job requirements. While I am currently based in Melbourne, I am willing to relocate for the right opportunity.

I would greatly value the chance to further my knowledge and explore a new career path. I am open to starting on a trial basis to demonstrate my reliability, dedication and work ethic, with the goal of transitioning into a permanent role.


Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to your team and discuss how I can be an asset to your organisation.


Sincerely,

Matthew Caruana.
