Re: Administrative Assistant Position

I am applying for the Administrative Assistant position as advertised in the Mercury on 24

January 2011.
My name is Lucy Dibawa and I am a former refugee from the Democratic Republic of
Congo (DRC), arriving in Australia in 2007. In DRC, in the city of Lubumbashi which has
a population of 1.4 million people, I worked as a personal assistant and administrative

working for Tenue Mining as a Secretary/Personal Assistant and at the Bureau

believe that my achievements were well regarded.
I have good skills in Word, Excel, Database and email & internet applications. I am very
friendly, well presented, possess excellent oral communication skills and time
management skills.
Since arriving in Tasmania I have been heavily involved in community activities, with
both the Tasmanian Congolese community and also the wider community. I have been
updating my skills to match the needs of the Australian workplace and am now very keen
to find employment.
I am available to be interviewed at any time. My resume, giving more details about my
experience is attached.

After reading the Family Advocate listing available with Fox Valley Autism Center

Last year, i studied a levels at the University of Zimbabwe and obtained very

when i came across the advertisement and presumed that it would be more
advantageous for me to continue my studies in Zambia because of the high
quality of education administered in Zambian Universities. Please find enclosed
my statement of results.
Here is a little information about my self. I am a hardworking individual who pays
very serious attention to her studies. In addition, i also work very well with
others. In fact, what helped me to pull through school and get such good grades
was my willingness to work along with others.
There are a few things though that i would like to find out. To what extent do you
provide financial assistance to studentd ? you did not mention anything about
travel casts. Do i have to find my own transportation ? also, i want to find out
how the academic calendar is arranged at the university. I will really appreciate
this information.
Yours faithfully,
