CV/Cover Letter Masterclass

In our masterclass today we were asked to practice applying for jobs in the logistics sector by either, writing a CV, filling in an application form or write a cover letter. I chose to write a cover letter for the job of a transport supervisor, here's what I wrote:

" To Whom This May Concern

Re: Transport Supervisor

I am writing to apply for the position of Transport Supervisor at B&B Ltd.

 I have over 5 years of experience within the transport and logistics industry. My transport experience includes extensive practical knowledge of the transport and distribution of various products by rail, road and sea. I have a full UK Driving License and I have also had my CPC training.

In my previous positions I have continually demonstrated my commitment to ongoing improvement of both services to clients and internal processes. I have undertaken extensive professional development, including Diplomas in both Education and Training. I have also previously ensured fleet compliance standards are up to standard and continuously improved whilst working collaboratively with stakeholders across the business to support improvements with cost, service & quality. "

I feel that after todays session I have a better understanding of covering letters as before this I had only done a CV and gone through applications.

Presentations

Unfortunately due to being ill I wasn't actually able to see everyone else's presentations however today I did see a message about ten minutes before our Career Ready meeting today that I would actually be delivering my presentation today with Kieran. So after a rush to go through a quick rehearsal we delivered our very improvised presentation whilst being recorded (which I imagine will be fun to watch back at a later date!) However despite the lack of organisation on our behalf I do think we delivered very well.
