Hi Jasmina, I've made some minor edits, but otherwise very good. Good luck!
Dear J....,
Thank you for your time last Friday, It is exciting that the project is progressing.
Please find attached my
CV and
below my statement to apply for the position
of Community Organiser:
Since 2012, my background has been characterised by my dedication to contribute in charities that
aim to help residents
in the borough of Southwark.
Currently, I spend time with families to resolve issues in different fields such as, Housing, Welfare and NHS. It has involved performing a variety of office roles and interpret for Spanish
speaking residents, whether attending authorities offices, the GP or Hospitals to follow treatments.
In my last job as Action Researcher for the Childhood Obesity project, I gained extensive experience dealing with parents and I enjoyed developing relationships with community leaders in order to
organise venues for the listening groups.
In 2014, my role as Information and Support adviser consist
ed of being the first contact for resident
s who wanted to do
volunteering work. This job
required database
input, searching
for opportunities, making calls to arrange interviews and monitor
ing volunteers to help them with
their progress.
In addition, I took a Kitchen Assistant training course (equivalent from Spain) that qualified me to work in restaurants and hotels. The course
included Health and Safety in the workplace and Food Management in a professional setting. When I arrived
to in the UK in 2008, I worked in a Burger King for two years, where I started in the kitchen
whilst learning English before gaining promotion within the company.
Alongside this, I worked in a Peruvian restaurant during the
weekends.
I am confident speaking both
languages English and Spanish, which allows me to facilitate
working with different cultures and backgrounds. I believe that I can actively contribute with families because I
am usually described as
an easy going person,
who is able to
assimilate with a wide range of people.
I would describe myself
as tolerant,
patient, dedicated, kind and at the same time, proactive. I am passionate
within the community, organising tasks related
to healthy
living and I consider that this position would bring me a huge opportunity to progress and achieve my next goals.
Thank you for your consideration.
I look forward to meeting with you to discuss my application further.
Yours sincerely,
