Dear Recruitment and Selection manager,

manage both at same time. Although I am not aware of the strategic goals of

knowledge in improving and implementing present business process. In my previous
job, I was responsible for keeping fine coordination between HR department and
Deputy Dean. I can assure you that my creative solutions will help University in

I did a basic research about University of Melbourne; I found that cultural
diversity is main part of University’s culture. I would be delighted to give my

directors, Deputy Dean and recruitment wing. I have ability to understand that

am aware of all the legal formalities related to human resource field. My expertise in
core HR skills will definitely help University and Faculty in getting close to
strategic objectives.
Beside these skills, my knowledge about spreadsheet, MS office and other
useful software is also fine. My past experience shows that I can easily work on a
new portal. I can guarantee you that I can effective complete complicate tasks like
manage complex database. I noticed that you are seeking a candidate who can
develop new processes of recruitment and selection. I am very confident that in
hardly 2-3 months, I can develop a better mechanisms so ''Faculty of Business and

At the end, I would like to thank you for giving time to my application. I am
looking forward to hear from your side. If you will consider me for this job profile
