Summary
I wish to apply for the position as advertised on the website. My experience in the Early Childhood industry and becoming personal care Assistant, has awarded me the skills, knowledge and patience to be able to provide a high quality of care to all children, regardless of age, ability or specialised needs. I believe my high quality of care in these areas could be easily transferred into the Health Care industry and, combined with my passion for caring for those in need will make myself an asset to any company I work for. I am hoping to obtain experience and establish myself as a valued team member. I am a very eager and focused worker with the flexibility to take leadership roles, as well as assist in team based roles. Being a 'people person' I find it easy and enjoyable to work within a team setting but also find I am very successful in working in an autonomous setting. I am determined about learning more and entering the Health Care industry, as I have recently been in contact with others employed in this industry and feel a growing passion for a career in this area. My resume highlights many areas that reflect my ability to meet the needs of this position and I look forward to the opportunity to further discuss the skills and abilities I can bring to this role. I am available for an interview at your convenience. Yours sincerely,
Pinkaew Knust (Pin)
