Dear Mr. Wills
Re: Beach Volunteers (Sunshine Stewards)
I would like to apply for the post of beach volunteer (known as Sunshine Steward) as advertised
by ReesLesiure. In response, I am enclosing my CV herewith.
I have completed by B.A. (Hons.) degree in event management. I always planned to have a
successful career as an event planner and manager. Therefore, have participated in various large
scale events as volunteer to know basic nuisances of event planning. As mentioned in my CV, I
have experience of:
 Being a part of event organising team during university days and have myself acted as
team leader twice to organise musical concerts at university.
 I have experience of organising mid scale events such as product launches, gala dinners,
5

business conferences and award ceremonies during my stint at Good Looks Event,
London.
 I have participated in London Marathon, Prudential Ride London and Lumiere London
as a volunteer.
I possess fairly good organising, management and leadership skills. I am good at
communicating, negotiating and influencing which makes it easier for me to work in teams. My
work experience has made me flexible and resilient and my open to learning attitude makes it
easier for others to approach and discuss with their grievances and issues with me.
I am looking forward for your response.
Yours Sincerely
