SAMPLE RESUME AND COVER LETTER

Dear Sir/Madam,
Re: APPLICATION FOR THE POSITION OF MANAGEMENT TRAINEE
From your company’s web site, I learned about your recruiting graduates for Management Trainee positions. I am very interested in this position and I am confident that my level of education and work experiences will suit the nature of candidates you intend to recruit for these roles.
As you will see from my CV, I have recently graduated from the University of Lagos, with a B.Sc. in Economics, where I demonstrated extraordinary efficiencies in learning, adaptability and accountability. I was involved in several Management events in my Department. Noteworthy was my work for the Nigerian Economic Students Association, where I served as its Vice President from 2005-2007 Academic year.
At the moment, I am doing my NYSC with Eagle Insurance Plc, where I am responsible for marketing their Insurance policies to businesses in the Lagos Mainland areas. I am working closely with the Agency Manager and thus have an informed knowledge of the financial industry, while also acquiring Business Development skills.
Prior to this, I worked briefly at an Internet Café as Operations Officer, making sure that all the workstations of the business are running smoothly at all times and also implementing a code of conduct for the employees in the firm in order to improve their effectiveness. I received the Employee of the Month award from the Management for three consecutive months, highlighting my hard work, honesty and high sense of responsibility.
With my proven ability to manage great responsibilities from my experiences, I feel that I will be able to make a significant contribution to your bank’s overall growth.
Yours sincerely,
Adebanjo Olukoya
