Dear Ms Richards,

I am writing to apply for the post of festival staff at Global Stage UK.

My name is Mikhail Sukhotskii and I am a student of the Pedagogical lyceum in Yekaterinburg. I have recently graduated from school with GPA 5.0 which is the highest in Russian Metric System. Despite the fact that I don’t have regular communication with native speakers, I have an advanced level of English (C1 on the CEFR), as I practice with PhDs. I am actually a member of the Ural State swimming team, therefore, my health and physical fit is really good.

During my school life, I have done plenty of events in a big variety of spheres. The most memorable was a round-table discussion with the Minister of Education of the Ural State. I had to organise everything, from the place to the colour of pens which was given to the Minister to sign the document. I was really enthusiastic about how it would happened, however, the team did their job conscientiously and everybody were pleased by the hospitality.

I can not imagine my life without music, that is why I would welcome the chance to join the staff of GS UK. As I recently said, I have a big experience in event management. Moreover, I can speak 3 languages, English, French (B1 on the CEFR) and Russian as the native speaker, which will help to communicate and solve the problems between guests from other countries. Having extra skills such as networking, politeness, accuracy will provide supreme comfort to the event hosts.

In attachment you will find my CV. If you require further information, it would be a pleasure to me to provide it.

Sincerely yours,

Mikhail Sukhotskii
