To whom it may concern:

Junior Animal Management Officer

I am enclosing my resume in response to your advertisement for the above post which appeared in the Singapore Zoo website on 1st December 2009.

As you will see, I have recently graduated from the National University of Singapore (NUS) with a Bachelor of Science degree in Life Science (Specialization in Biology). I have been studying for the past three years, as well as working part time as a music teacher and a private tuition teacher. I feel that this demonstrates my ability to maintain dedication, motivation and enthusiasm for a project over a long period of time. In addition, balancing both work and studies have honed my time-management and organizational skills. I consider that the study of Biology appropriate for the above post, particularly the course on Life form and function which explores the development of animals. I was vice-director for an event organized by the Outdoor Activities Club in NUS. This allowed me to develop skills such as being able to develop leadership skills and oversee the whole event.

Studying at NUS gave me the opportunity to go to Toronto for a summer program, and I learnt to find ways to adapt to different circumstances and it has built my confidence in networking with people. Which I believe to be essential for the job as there needs to be good interpersonal and communication skills.

From reading your press releases I am assured that your work with wildlife, as well as conservation efforts is highly regarded in the community. I would find post of junior animal management officer would be worthwhile and challenging and I do hope that you will look favourably at my application. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Miss Tiffany Seow
