Dear Mr Chan

Application for the Post of Management Trainee

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 19 January 2016.

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 2016. 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.

My final year project is entitled Knowledge Management Practices in HK. Carrying


out this project has improved my communication skills, my leadership skills and my
ability to lead and supervise subordinates effectively. I have also learned how to run a
project from the planning stage to its completion.

During my studies I have held the post of Executive in the Management Society.
While leading and organizing Management Society activities I have improved my
ability to lead and supervise subordinates effectively, ability to work under pressure
and 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 interview at any time. I can be contacted most easily on the mobile
phone number given above. I look forward to meeting you.

Yours sincerely

 
Wong Wai Man Wilfred
