Mr. Roman Gellar,
I am seeking employment at an active and exciting workplace and Ritz Carlton is offering a
vibrant environment and more specifically it is directly related to my area of interest and studies
at Bow Valley College, where I am currently studying Business administration diploma. I have
no previous work experience. In 2016 itself I completed by secondary education in non-medical
stream.
Until my schooling I was in the non-medical stream, which had mathematics as its core. I
completed my schooling from Doon Public School in India, from where I secured 76%. During
my initial classes in diploma, I found out that I am positive and enthusiastic while meeting new
people. I am also a quick learner and took up a lot of responsibilities in class. I helped my
classmates and followed the instructions of the teachers to the word. I kept it in mind that I must
never compromise on the quality of my assignments, no matter what is the situation. At times all
the assignment pressure was hectic, but I am determined on doing my best and completing the
course.

BUSINESS COMMUNICATION
Currently I am living in Calgary, Canada, where I have attempted at extending my
experience to fundraising work too. I got lots of opportunities of attending workshops and
presenting speeches to people groups, from 50 to 500 people at annual conferences. I am
completely confident that my ability of supporting other people and providing the required
support for developing successful new students.
Attending different conferences and groups have largely influenced by ability of
developing relationships and increasing my confidence of dealing with situations that present a
challenge for me that is most of the time out of my comfort zone. Travelling overseas and living
in a foreign country demanded that I become capable and independent.
I am eager of demonstrating how I am capable of becoming a serious part of the Ritz Carlton
team.
Sincerely,
(Name of the student)
