Letter of Motivation

I have recently completed my double major degree at the University of

Monash South Africa by completing my bachelor of Social Sciences

and Public Relations. My passion lies within the practice of public

relations as I am able to think outside of the box in order to

conceptualize creative yet effective strategic campaigns. I, like most

millennials dream of leading a successful life not only in the financial

scheme of things, but also in the emotional sphere where I dream of

doing a job which works as much for me as I do for it.

In my last semester of university I decided to begin doing freelance

work with social media marketing and management as well as public

relations for the clients I currently work with. The reason for my

applying for your job is that I would love to gain some corporate

experience as I feel that is where my true passion for public relations

lies.

I would absolutely appreciate the opportunity to work for your

organization as I have the passion, the skills and the love for

communicating effectively with individuals both inside and outside of

the organization.

I appreciate your time and consideration.

Kind regards

Sian Lindeque

To whom it may concern

Reference letter: Sian Lindeque (Monash SA student no 25482467) I have known Sian Lindeque for three years as her lecturer in certain subjects related to Communication and Public Relations. Throughout these three years, she has made an impression on me as an intelligent and exceptionally diligent student who is able to effectively and respectfully interact with lecturers and fellow students.

During the past semester, I was her lecturer for Consulting, a challenging and practical subject in which students had to form a five-person consultancy, draw up a proposal for a communication campaign, and present their proposal to the client. Sian was part of The Firm, a consultancy that competed with five others for the client account. Their proposal won the account, and the client and I were impressed by their presentation of it.

I recommend Sian for any further studies or employment in her fields of specialisation. It has

been a pleasure to teach her.

Kind regards

Charles Villet Lecturer and Head of Section: Philosophy 9 November 2016 Subject: Recommendation for Ms. Sian Lindeque (Student number: 25482467) To whom it may concern:

Herewith I would like to recommend Ms. Lindeque’s academic abilities. My recommendation

is based on my experience of her academic work, which is of high quality. Ms. Lindeque was

enrolled for a number of Philosophy courses at Monash South Africa presented by myself in

2014 and 2015. She performed well in light of some challenging course material and

received three distinctions, one in each of her courses with me. Ms. Lindeque was without a doubt one of the brightest minds in my classes. She frequently

engaged in debate in class and her contributions were insightful and of great value to fellow

students and myself. In this respect she revealed a critical and inquisitive eye with regards

to the course content and her argumentative skills also revealed much insight. These skills

were also reflected in her execution of the course assessments, which were of a high

standard. I therefore recommend Ms. Lindeque’s academic abilities and hope that you will kindly take

this recommendation into consideration for her application. Please contact me in this regard

if you have any enquiries. Best wishes,

Charles Villet
