Dear Sir/ Ma’am
My name is Tarryn Abrams, I am and extremely driven individual. I left school and got a job as I wanted to be intendant, I was fortunate enough to get a job within the Marketing space with a boss who became my mentor. I soon realised I have a passion for Marketing and Brand Management which is why I made the decision to seek one of the best Marketing Schools around (IMM) I committed to start my BCom in Marketing and Business Sciences in 2016 part time. I am proud to say I have successfully completed my degree.
In 2018 I decided to open my very own Project Management and Marketing Business which focuses on the roll out of Retail Stores unfortunately when Covid 19 hit South Africa it forced me to close my business. I strongly believe everything happens for a reason which is why I am applying for this job as it has always been my dream to work within a dynamic where there is diversity, room for growth but most importantly a company where I can add value.
I have a thorough understanding of Sales and Marketing disciplines and theory, excellent writing, grammar and communication skills in English, attention to detail, ability to multi-task and set priorities, ability to work independently, execute tasks efficiently, be creative, take initiative, ability to adapt to change and tight deadlines, prepared to work long hours and travel when necessary. I have a proactive work approach, with a demonstrated history of working in the marketing and advertising industry. Skilled in Microsoft Word, Marketing, project management advertising, Sales, and property leasing.
sincerely
Tarryn Abrams
