CURRICULUM VITAE OF HELEEN BRITS

Dear Sir/Madam

For your consideration:

I am an experienced administration professional and guest relations expert seeking to join your organisation to add value to both my career and to your business.

I am a highly motivated self-starter, with a breadth of experience across multiple industries. My high learning agility and strong work ethic enables me to adapt and integrate rapidly into organizations that I am employed.

I have not been formally employed since February 2015 when I chose to be a stay-home mom and entrepreneur. Due to the current financial and economic climate, I am looking to return to the formal employment sector where I can utilize my experience and training in administration and hotel guest relations to add value to your organization and its clients.

Please consider my curriculum Vitae for any suitable positions that you may have or may become available in your organization.

Thank you and regards,

______

Ms. HeleenBrits
