Dear Hiring Manager,
RE:APPLICATION FOR GRADUATE MANAGEMENT TRAINEE PROGRAMME
I am interested in the Management Trainee Programme recently advertised on Daily Nation. This precisely fits my career plans and will enable me to use not only my interest in your company’s services, but also my skills in working with people, both in an advisory and a managerial capacity.
I am 26 years B.Com graduate from Kenyatta University with a 2nd Upper Division. Specifically, I am interested in a career with your firm because of the high reputation of your graduate training scheme, and your commitment to giving new recruits early responsibility.
During my time as a student I have had a variety of part-time and vacation jobs, all of which have required me to work as part of a team and to deal directly with the public. My work at XYZ Company is a valuable teaching of the importance of ascertaining customers’ needs and providing clear and accurate information in response to those needs.
In addition, I am a keen observer and deem observation as the best form of training. My presentation and analytical skills are above par which will assist me to do justice to a management trainee’s job. Working with you will expose me to challenging experiences of your leadership and talent management programme hence help me build a broad portfolio of technical, professional and interpersonal skills.
I would like an opportunity to discuss this further with you, and enclosed is my CV for your consideration.
Thank you in advance.
Yours Sincerely,
