Persoonlijke eigenschappen: Dear Sir/Madam

With this letter I wish to express my interest in the position of ‘cabin crew Bremen’ within your company.

After being raised and educated in Australia, at the age of 21 I started to travel, work and live in Europe. After living and working in London I then relocated to Amsterdam. For the next 8 years I studied and worked in The Netherlands, having learnt to speak Dutch fluently which enabled me to pursue a career with world renowned Dutch companies. During this time I also attained dual citizenship (Australian and Dutch). In January 2013 I returned to Australia to further my study and life opportunities. After finishing my year of study in Australia I am now looking for a challenging new work role in the airline industry as a cabin attendant. I am flexible in regards to living in Bremen or other european cities. I speak fluent Dutch and English, and I am willing to learn the German language for this role.

My work experience is in sales, customer service and visual merchandising. Within my roles I have worked both autonomously and as a team member, dealing with customers in face-to-face situations and providing exceptional customer service. Last year I have completed a course in remedial massage therapy, acquiring a new set of work techniques that has allowed me to build on my people skills and also interpersonal qualities.

I believe my hard work, and ability to adapt to new cultures and people has contributed to my honest, dynamic positive working attitude that will enable me to have a successful career in the international travel world.

Understanding people and their needs is something I am passionate about. I hope that by reading this letter I have represented to you who I am and how I can be of an asset to your company.

I look forward to your response regarding my application.
