Sample cover letter for Full Time position at UN

Based on the professional experience in the administrative and Human Resources area, along with the academic knowledge I have acquired, I feel confident to believe that I possess the necessary competencies and motivation to cover the General Service Position- Grade G- 3 at Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

There are several reasons why I think that I can successfully perform the duties required for this role. Firstly, various professional experiences have allowed me to cover a full spectrum of administrative duties, including office management, account management, database administration, document preparation, travel/meeting coordination and project/program support. For instance, in my current position of Learning and Development Consultant for the Human Resources Department at BNL- BNP Paribas, I fulfill many administrative and office support duties in order to facilitate the implementation of the training projects addressed to BNL-BNP staff and management. My daily work activities require advanced skills in operating standard office equipment, as well as proficiency in MS Office programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Access). I have also become confident in using a wide range of ICT resources and HR software (SAP, My Development- by Cornerstone OnDemand), that can be useful in the role I am applying for.

Also my internship experience at Labor Security and the acquired knowledge in project management and communications can add the extra value needed for working in a role where task prioritization and time management skills are extremely important. Furthermore the Administrative Assistant position at the Didactic Secretariat of the Department of Political Science - University “Roma TRE”, thus giving assistance in organizing conferences and seminars, as well as providing a high quality student services support, allowed me to improve the soft skills required for this profile.

In addition to that, I am a versatile individual, with strong research and analytical skills, and a passion for foreign languages. Currently, in addition to fluency in Romanian and Italian, I have a high working knowledge of English, language used in my current role in communications with the Belgian Training Team, and a limited working knowledge of French.

I hope this letter to be reason enough to further analyze my application. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
