Hello,
My name is Jonathan Kim. I’m sure the average cover letter explains why someone would be the best fit for x role, because they’ve known they wanted to become a doctor or lawyer, etc. since they were young. As for me, I could never identify a career path I knew I wanted to follow. I’ve had experience in professional catering, automobile sales, as a loan officer, shipping/logistics manager - the list goes on - but my bread and butter has always been sales.
I’m an original thinker - I love new ideas and being given the opportunity to innovate, as well as the opportunity to collaborate with my teammates on their ideas. I’m a fast learner, and when I become interested in something, I absorb everything. Being sociable has always led my career paths because I enjoy building new relationships and maintain existing ones, both professionally and personally. I have an ability to connect and communicate with others due to my experiences in various career paths and being able to relate easily. In all the jobs I have previously held I excelled at all positions and learned everything that I could throughout that time. I strive best in my element when there are clear goals, so I am motivated and determined.
In my next role, I’m looking for responsibilities that play on my natural strengths in an environment that continually challenges me every day - a place where I can utilize my existing knowledge to help the company and realize my potential to the fullest. Looking forward to working with you in the future!
Sincerely,
Jonathan Kim
