Dear Employer,
As a bona fide "globetrotter" who is globally aware my model has always been "home is where I`m at." My eclectic interests, tastes, ideas and background have always motivated me towards differences and diversity and to approach challenges in a non conventional or unorthodox manner. A self-starter innate with the entrepreneurial spirit, international experience has been my teacher and the world my university. For these reasons, I feel I am an ideal candidate for a position with your company.
I am an American currently living and working as an Independent Business Consultant in Paris. I have lived and worked here for 2+ years as an Independent Business Consultant and I recently arrived from Brazil where I lived and worked for 10 years. I am interested in a career with your company. With my extensive international experience, cultural diversity and language skills I believe that I have the qualifications to contribute.
I am in the process of completing my undergrad studies obtaining my degree in International Business in the near future. English is my native language and I speak fluently Portuguese, French and basic Spanish and I am in the process of learning Mandarin. I have cultural diversity skills due to my wonderful experiences abroad and ample business experience operating my own consultation services for the past 10 years in Brazil and France. I have also worked for various companies, among them Safeway Inc., my own Global Links Consulting Services, People Coordinated Services, Xerox Business Services and the City of Santa Monica, California. My responsibilities included Independent Business Consultant, Supervisor, Inventory Clerk, Administrative Assistant, Program Coordinator, Facilities Management and High school Teacher. I have excellent computer and communication skills and I believe my experience gives me the special skills you are seeking.
