Dear Mr Chan
Application for the Post of Management Trainee
I am writing to apply for the post of Management Trainee, which was advertised
on the Student Affairs Office notice board of the Hong Kong Polytechnic
University on 23 March 2011.
My working experience at Lucky Star Garment Manufactory Limited improved my
leadership skills, communication skills and ability to work in a team
environment. I have fluent spoken and written English. I also have fluent spoken
and written Mandarin, and can therefore work in mainland China.

Currently I am studying a B.A. in Management at the Hong Kong Polytechnic

University, graduating in 2011. Subjects which I am studying that are relevant
to the post of Management Trainee include Operations Management, Human Resources
Management, Accounting, Marketing and Strategic Management.

My final year project is entitled Knowledge Management Practices in HK. Carrying

out this project has improved my communication skills, my leadership skills and
my ability to lead and supervise subordinates effectively. I have also learned
how to run a project from the planning stage to its completion.

During my studies I have held the post of Executive in the Management Society.
While leading and organising Management Society activities I have improved my
ability to lead and supervise subordinates effectively, ability to work under
pressure and ability to work in a team environment.

Working for Wong And Lim Consulting appeals to me because it has a good
reputation and it provides excellent training. Your organisation produces a
high-quality service, and I can contribute to this with my leadership skills and
my ability to work under pressure.
I am available for interview at any time. I can be contacted most easily on the
mobile phone number given above. I look forward to meeting you.
Yours sincerely
