Application for the Post as an Internal Communications Executive

With regards to the above title, I, as named above would like to apply for the post of an Internal Communications Executive in your organization based on your advertisement in The Star newspapers dated 15th May, 2010.

The experience that I have in doing research, analysing and writing the research papers, doing needs analysis, editing publications and presenting papers in seminars would help to make HSBC’s global brand name to be an industry leader in the Malaysian banking industry as a whole.

My training and qualifications with my Masters degree plus my experience as a lecturer, and trainer have helped me to adapt and adopt certain programmes to factories, colleges and universities and of which I am sure will be an asset to your organization as well and to disseminate the relevant news to the relevant employees.

I have experience in developing training publications and manuals and as such I can work together with key stakeholders to coordinate, manage and create publications, newsletters, multimedia presentations and videos and manuals based on data and findings from research, HR and Marketing departments.

I am available for an interview at any time convenient to you. I do not have any bond with any organization and I can start almost immediately.

My CV is enclosed with this application and I hope to hear from your organization soon.

Thank you for your prompt attention in this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Edward Lewis

Football

Too bad MU is not playing tonight
Inter milan vs Bayern Munich or rather Jose Mourinho vs Ex boss/mentor Louis van Gaal. My favourite is Inter although the boss is cocky and proud. The team improves a lot.
cheers to them tonight

Thomas Cup

I think Malaysia gave a lot of people some heart palpitations the other night when we beat Denmark 3-2............................
So what about tonight against the defending champion China?
Our very own Datuk must win against Lin Dan for us to stand a chance.
Otherwise we can forget about winning the Thomas Cup this time.
The defeat to Japan was maybe a wake up call to Hafiz.
He has all the natural talent, height and ability but just plain lazy to train.......
If Lee Chong Wei wins and Koo-Tan wins, then we can see another great encounter.
Otherwise we can lose 3-0. Hafiz have to rise against Bao Chun Lai this time.
cheers but I won't bet against anything happening.
Anything can happen tonight
