Dear Employer,

As a bona fide "globetrotter" who is globally aware my model has always been "home is where I'm at." My eclectic interests, tastes, ideas and background have always motivated me towards differences and diversity and to approach challenges in a non conventional or unorthodox manner. A self-starter innate with the entrepreneurial spirit, international experience has been my teacher and the world my university. For these reasons, I feel I am an ideal candidate for an international position.

My name is Mr. Ajamu AJANI and I am an American currently living and working as an Independent Business Consultant in Paris, France. I arrived a year and half ago from Brazil where I also lived and worked for 10 years as an Independent Business Consultant. I am interested in an International Business career with your company. With my extensive international experience I believe that I have the qualifications to contribute.

I am in the process of completing my undergrad studies obtaining my degree in International Business in the near future. English is my native language and I speak fluently Portuguese, French and basic Spanish and I am in the process of learning Mandarin. I have cultural diversity skills due to my wonderful experiences abroad and ample business experience operating my own consultation services for the past 10 years in Brazil and France. I have also worked for various companies, among them Safeway Inc., my own Global Links Consulting Services, People Coordinated Services, Xerox Business Services and the City of Santa Monica. My responsibilities included Supervisor, Inventory Clerk, Independent Business Consultant, Administrative Assistant, Coordinator, Facilities Management and High school Teacher. I have excellent computer and communication skills and I believe my experience gives me the special skills you are seeking.

I would like to work with a company that offers challenges as well as international career-developing initiatives.

The details of my education, work history, and qualifications are outlined in the attached resume.  At your convenience, I would appreciate talking with you about potential opportunities in your company. If you would like any additional information, please let me know. I can be reached at 33(0)6 65 77 47 98, 33(0)1 43 67 89 36 or by email at ajamu360@hotmail.com. Thank you for your time and effort!
