Dear Mr. Chan,

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 1 March 2021.

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 2021. 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.

During my study, I have had the post of Executive in Management Society. While leading and organizing Management Society activities I have improved my ability to lead and supervise subordinates effectively, my ability to work under pressure, and my 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 organization 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 an interview at any time. I look forward to meeting you.

Yours sincerely,
