Hello This is a request for being employed as a purchasing agent. I can start work immediately and be able to work full-time. I am confident in executing all the tasks cited in the description. I had been serving a USA based towel manufacturing company for 5 years as a procurement officer. I gained experience working with world famous buyers like Wallmart, Nitori, JYSK & IKEA. My responsibilities included dealing with packaging suppliers, taking & comparing price quotes from suppliers as per the specification of items, tracking item stocks, placing orders and following up the deliveries, rejection, and replacement. I have to be in coordination with four other departments: marketing, quality, store, accounts department so that the entire process of purchasing may be done efficiently. Hopefully, this proposal would draw your attention and will allow me to have a chance to face the interview. Thanking you Rubel/ Aparna The Couple

Hi! I would like to apply for the Purchasing Agent position. I believe I am well-suited to the position because my skills perfectly match the skills needed for this job. I have been a virtual assistant (project manager/executive assistant) for two (2) years now and have done a variety of tasks for executive clients such as email management, calendar scheduling, travel planning, purchasing and some customer support via email. I also do basic social media management and mainly HR tasks such as recruitment and employee engagement. The tools that I’m using are Google Suite, Trello, Slack, Skype, Zoom, Canva, Shopify, basic Wordpress and HR information software like BambooHR and Bitrix24. As an assistant, I am a self starter, quick learner and very optimistic and passionate towards work. And because of this I believe that these skills can be very helpful to the position that I am applying for and that I can contribute to the business and to the team. Moreover, The tasks of a virtual assistant/project manager is something that I enjoy doing because it’s not a routine type of job and that I get to do different tasks with different department and colleagues depending on the instructions given to me. So everyday is something new and I like that. That makes my job not boring and I love being challenged. I do hope that I will be given the chance to present myself to discuss more details. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you!
