Dear
I am writing to you to apply for the clerical officer's job that I saw advertised on your website. Should I be successful, this post
would enhance my career prospects and offer me both challenges and opportunities that are not available in my current role. I believe that I would be
well suited to this position thanks to my background and qualifications. I have, for example, six years' experience in similar roles, through which I have
learned to take minutes, file correspondence, touch type up to 60 words per minute, and follow data protection regulations, all of which are mentioned
in the job description. Furthermore, I have just completed my ACSF Level 4 assessments in maths and English, which together have improved both
my knowledge and confidence. Alongside them, I hold an Advanced AQF Diploma in Business and Administration and I also have completed my Year
12 Senior Secondary Certificate of Education with a satisfactory grade. Please find attached my Resume which contains further details about my
employment history and education, in addition to the contact details of two suitable referees. May I thank you for your consideration and I look
forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely/faithfully,
