Paula Vangrieken

Dear Hiring Manager,

Throughout my career, I have contributed to positive business results through effective organization, prioritization, and follow-through of key projects.

In my previous administrative assistant role, to further build upon my organizational assets, I took the chance to broaden my experience beyond standard administrative responsibilities to leadership. Today, I can adapt quickly and efficiently to shifting priorities, combined with excellent delegation skills.

Moreover, my previous experience as a Research assistant allowed me to further develop and sharpen my technical skills as well as my competencies to project management, process improvement, effective presentations, and advanced data analysis. Along with my critical thinking, curiosity, and problem-solving interest, I have thrived to enhance my productivity as a Researcher through detailed activity planning and time management. While I am independently motivated, I am also a team player, appreciate collective efforts, and collaborate within group settings.

I value an intercultural workplace where every individual matter and has opportunities to grow professionally. To illustrate the scope of my career history and professional competencies, please take a moment to review my enclosed resume.

As you evaluate my profile, you may notice a brief gap in my work experience as in September 2019 I decided to relocate to Switzerland to accommodate new career opportunities. While managing the logistics of my move, I have been studying German and working on occasional assignments (Translating/proofreading documents, Managing Online Events, etc.) for a company focused on sustainable development in Bern. In addition, I am also working as a part-time production employee for a Bio food company also in Bern.

Today I am settled and prepared to take the next step in my career. I am looking for new opportunities that better fulfill my potential and allow me to continue growing as a professional. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss my qualifications and answer any questions you may have.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Paula Vangrieken
