Cover letter
Dear recruiter I am dynamic communicator with almost 19 years of experience in the profession. Having worked as a senior editor, media analyst, science writer and corporate communications manager (currently internally focused as part of the full marketing and communications team) at a leading scientific R&D organisation in Africa, I can confidently say that I am a highly skilled, multi-faceted communications professional. I plan to relocate to Cape Town very soon as I have family there. I believe that what sets me apart from others is the combination of my high work ethic and personal attributes. I believe that although my CV reflects my appropriate experience and relevant skills, an interview will offer the opportunity to gain a more accurate indication of my suitability for the position. Thank you for the opportunity to apply for this position. Regards, Chiara Lincoln
Pros: Leader in research, development and Innovation in Africa
