Dear Ms Teh,
Sports Specialist, Job Reference No. JDBS144175601
I am writing in response to the position of Sports Specialist advertised on JobsDB.com on the 2nd September 2009, under the above mentioned reference number. The position on offer is very enticing and I believe I possess the appropriate qualifications and experience required for the job.
With reference to your stated job requirement of having a passion for sports, I feel I am a suitable candidate. I am an avid triathlete and regularly compete in both local and regional triathlons. In addition to that, I am a keen participant in other endurance related sports such as marathons, duathlons, aquathlons. I also have a fair amount of experience in team sports with prior involvement in hockey, floor-ball and football during my secondary school and junior college days.
In accordance with the job requirements of giving talks, I am equally adept. As stated in my resume, I have captained 3 different teams in track, hockey and aquathlon. Therefore, I am used to speaking in front of an audience and will have little problems giving talks on a subject matter I am familiar with. I believe the people skills that I have developed serving under the different executive committees will prove to be an asset for the company in this aspect of the job requirement.
I currently work in Passione Bicycles, an outlet specialising in road and triathlon bicycles. In managing the accounts of the shop and conducting sales, I have learnt the fundamentals required in sales. My involvement in sports has also taught me how to effectively manage people and relationships within a group, both of which will prove useful under the job requirement of sales. I am a team player, and I am very willing to learn the finer aspects of sales, be it from my colleagues or from experiences amassed on the job.
I will be graduating from the National University of Singapore in May 2010, with a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Life Sciences, specialising in Biomedical Sciences. The modules I have taken in university, including Metabolism, Cardiology and Physiology has given me a clear understanding of sports physiology. I believe it will be relevant and useful when conducting talks on sports nutrition and supplements. Furthermore, having trained under various coaches, I have a clear grasp of training methodology which I can advise potential customers on as a bonus. I am keen to apply these skills in a career setting such as that of a Sports Specialist, offered by Global Active Limited.
Currently, the sports nutrition scene is dominated by an oligopoly of companies including First Endurance, Powerbar and 3nergy. With Global Active Limited currently seeking to enter the fray, I believe that I have a lot to offer the company. With that I enclose my resume and hope that you look affirmatively upon my application. I hope to be considered for an interview and I look forward to your reply.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read my application.
Yours sincerely,
Aldrich Koh
