Dear Ms Low,
Admin
Executive - Market Research, Statistic Collection, Data Analysis Management
I am enclosing my
resume in response to your advertisement for the above job vacancy which
appeared on STJOBS website on 15th February 2013.
I am currently an
undergraduate in the National University of Singapore, pursuing a degree in Bachelor
of Science, majoring in statistics, and is expected to graduate in May 2014. My
multidisciplinary major equips me with a wide academic base in statistics,
mathematics, actuarial science and computer programming. To value add to that,
I have taken a great variety of electives such as French and professional
communication which enable me to express myself confidently in a professional
environment.
I believe that my
experience in the outdoor sector have enhanced my ability of dealing with people
and stress. I have coordinated a level cohort camp of 400 people which
comprised of dealing with both students and teachers. This enhanced my skills
of establishing good working relationship and rapport with people. Thus meeting
new people to conduct interviews, field work and collection of data would be a
breeze. Furthermore, my ad hoc experience with a telemarketing survey company
equipped me with the necessary interpersonal skills for data collection.
My exposure and knowledge in statistical software like
R, SAS and SPSS set me apart from other potential applicants. Backed up with my
proficiency in Microsoft Office, I am confident in delivering timely and
reliable statistics for policy planning and analysis. I am also motivated to
provide organized well- structured reports. These aligned me with the
responsibilities that the job is looking for.
During my enrollment in university, I am actively involved in organizing and facilitating
co-curricular activities (CCA). These include planning and executing of an overnight cross island night cycling and an amazing race where I demonstrated my
strong sense of command and control, communication skills and ability to work
well as a team player. My sense of
ruggedness is fortified with the experiences I have in my sport CCA where I am
constantly challenge with unforeseen circumstances and intense pressure.
My work experiences in
diversified environments put me at a different playing ground from other
candidates. It shaped me into a strong,
motivated team player who is objective and passionate about continuous
learning. My CCAs further developed my sense of discipline and ability to adapt
to situations. It allow me to work well under pressure which I believe is a
valuable characteristic for this job.
An opportunity to
work with the client under Achieve Group would be an amazing journey for me to
learn and excel. I sincerely hope you will look through my application meticulously
and I look forward to a face-to-face interview to discuss further. I can be
contacted via my cell (9XXX XXXX) or email (aXXXXXXX.nus.edu.sg) at your
