Dear Masimo,

Re: Graduate Trainees – Personnel Function

Please find enclosed my CV in connection with the above.

As my CV indicates, I have already gained experience in the retail industry and am keen to continue this within the Personnel Function.

Having discussed with several people the role of personnel within an organisation, I am excited at the prospect of being involved in such an area. The recent merger of the Institute of Personnel Management with the ITD is, I believe, a positive step and indicates the significant role the Human Resource function has to play in business. I see personnel related in broad terms to the ‘management of people within an organisation’ and as people are an organisation’s biggest asset, I see this as the kind of challenging position I require.

My excellent communication skills were developed during my time at university, where I was used to addressing large audiences through my involvement with the Student Union and also on a one-to-one basis in other capacities.

The retail industry is going through many changes at present, with the onset of foreign competition and ‘home shopping’. These are exciting and challenging times and I believe I possess the necessary drive, commitment, and dedication to help ensure that ___________________________continues to be successful.

I look forward to the opportunity of discussing the position in more detail.

Yours sincerely,

Raymond Chan
