Assume you have recently been retrenched from your job as a customer service officer. A job agency informs you of a customer service position available in a 5-star hotel in Singapore. They believe your experience in your previous job will give put you in good standing and encourage you to apply for the job.

You read the details of the job with interest. The agency was right. The job scope is almost identical to your previous job. In fact, the new position offers better benefits and pay. There is only one problem - the qualifications. Your highest qualification is 5 "O" level passes (equivalent to high school) but the job requires a Diploma holder.

Write a message to Mr Lim, the Recruitment Manager of the 5-star hotel to:

highlight your years of experience, courses you have attended, and achievements. state clearly the reason you were retrenched from your previous job. explain how you can be an asset to the organisation despite not being a Diploma holder. include contact details.

Your message must be factual, concise, clear, persuasive and polite. Please ensure that it is between 150 to 250 words (no format required; focus only on the message).

Do not exceed the word limit.
