dear sir or madam,
i learned from beijing Youth Daily Oct.2 that your company is offering a positing for a secretary,and it's a great pleasure for me to write to explore the possibility of seeking the job.
i graduated two years ago from beijing Unibersity of Technology,and obtained abachelor's degree in the field of business management.During my stay in the university my major course included macro-economic,business communication skills,marketing and computer applications.I was especially fond of the coumnication skills which enabled me to dead with people and things around well.
Upon graduation I engaged with HP Chaina Branch as an assistant to the head of Marketing Department. My responsibilities consisted of carrying out market surveys,writing reports and organizing meetings within the department.This two-year experience has helped me a lot in many ways.In particular, I become increasingly aware of the importance of co-ordination and co-operation among coworkers. I also believe that the experience will qualify me for the current vacancy in your company.
Ipassed both CET-4 and CET-6 with high marks. my spoken English is also fulent enough to organize meetings in English, which was actually my routine work in HP.Most of my market reports were presented in English ,as my former boss id a native English speaker.
Ienclose herein my resume and some relevant documents as required.And if you need any further information on me,I also refer you to Mr.Johnson, my ex-colleague, who is available at 021-868536984.
I appreciate your sincere consideration of me, and am looking forward to an early interview with you.....(end)
