Dear Faisal Hashmi Sir,
I hope you are in good health and having a great time.
Sir i am passionate to work in coca cola, it is not just a childhood bonding. I have deep respect for this brand and i am emotionally connected with this company as a family. Coca cola is the only company which believes in giving back to the society. There are many MNC companies but only few of them feel their corporate social responsibility and work for the welfare of the society. Coca cola is leading them all. Coca cola believes in spreading smiles and happiness. You recent activities like integrated development in ayubia national park in collaboration with WWF , citizen foundation and coca cola working for Educated Pakistan , fundraising for edhi foundation and many more. I also believe in helping others and for this purpose i work voluntarily for organizations like shaukat khanum and akhuwat foundation.
For me coca cola is like family and i want to become a member of this family so that we together keep spreading smiles.
I am student of bachelors of commerce in marketing at Hailey College of Commerce University of the Punjab, i am near to my graduation and i am also enrolled in Amal career prep fellowship program where i am learning skills like communication, teamwork, leadership and critical thinking. I am an extroverted personality and highly social in my college. I have organized 3 major events for my college which were attended by more than 2000 people, these events polished my business and event management skills leading towards improving leadership and teamwork skills as well. I love to interact with diverse people and this position will help me in polishing these skills in more appropriate way.
I can imagine how much work load will be there for you in this recruitment process and i wish you all the good luck for the future and i can assure you that you will not regret when you will see me in in-person interview. I am hoping for a positive call from your side, i am just a call away.
Thank you for giving your precious time and effort in reviewing my cover letter and resume.
Wishing you good luck for your recruitment process.
Kind regards,
Asma Tariq
