Dear Sir/Madam:
I am interested to bid your posted project here at the site. However, I want to give you a bit of my background in terms of my education and professional skills and talents.
I have arrived from London, England, to the Philippines in 2008, after five years of living and working there. Being back in the Philippines, I would like to apply the skills I have gained from my employment and training in England (and, of course, the excellent years of my international work history as well). I do enjoy working from home, and such being the case, I have seen your advertisement, and very keen to be part of your company.
My expertise are in the areas of writing - corporate communications, public relations/press releases, copywriting, creative writing, commentaries, essays, blogs, e-books, web content, English TESOL curriculum writing; marketing (traditional and online) strategies, branding and image, research; advertising – conceptualisation to production of TV/radio/print/AVP; sales and customer service, PR, and, HR.
In essence, I would consider will be my fluency in writing, speaking and comprehension of the English language (American and British), with more than 20 years of exposure to customer service whether directly or via telephone, my skills in managing, supervising and training staff, as well as my knowledge communications – media, advertising and PR; business management and business development; sales and accounts management; and marketing as my skills honed over years of handling various clients in the Philippines, Hong Kong, Singapore, USA and the UK.
In addition to this, one of my strongest assets is my ability to deal with clients and peoples from various cultures and nationalities – whether for business or personal, and being able to adapt myself quite easily too in a required environment. I am adept in sales (B2B, B2C), telemarketing lead generation and product presentation, including marketing, branding, PR, advertising copywriting, product reviews and SMM.
In addition, I am hardworking, committed to projects and will meet required deadlines, organised and detailed-oriented, helpful to make suggestions and recommendations when needed for the improvement of work/company, highly-principled, and have work integrity.
I believe my skills in the English language are excellent, including pronunciation. I have dealt with various cultures, nationalities, races and idiosyncrasies, and even managed staff from all over Europe. I have represented the BBC Holborn branch in all BBC meetings, and have been commented positively for my English speaking and writing skills. I mean, communicating the combination of both the British and American English to BBC staff was a challenge because I had the use my skills in interpersonal communication to be able to handle the needs and wants of clients, and always in-charge of customer relations.
This is not to mention that upon returning to the Philippines; I was a marketing and sales consultant for Culinary Food Treasures (CTF-Inc), a famous chain of restaurants and catering company. I managed the sales operations of the company, and produced modules for training purpose on topics of customer service relations and a best sale practice.
Prior to that, I worked as a COPYWRITER and SENIOR BROADCAST PRODUCER for Saatchi and Saatchi, Basic/Foote, Cone – top advertising agencies in the Philippines. I have conceptualised, written, edited and produced numerous broadcast communications materials such TV and radio commercials and corporate audio-visual presentations; and, printed materials as corporate brochures, flyers, newspapers adverts, POPs, newsletters, and the like; interact and personally handled for multi-national clients such as Colgate-Palmolive, Mitsubishi, Procter & Gamble, Del Monte, RFC, Mead-Johnson, Unilab, ING Life, Generali Filipinas, to name a few.
I hope to hear from you soonest.
More power.
Cheers.
