During completing my BA in Psychology at Richmond University London, I did an internship at SIS International Research Company as a Market Researcher, and as a Business Development Manager. This experience has been invaluable in putting into practice some of the organizational theories I learned in my degree, and my research and marketing experience.

In particular I have learned how to support the quotation process, dealing with new projects and proposals, and preparing all other related materials, work on supporting the Business Development Activity in the Middle East and British market/region, prepared databases and pulling together relevant information for proper communication, and scheduled meetings and followed up on clients over the phone.

My previous professional experience in business and formal settings developed strong interpersonal skills and my capacity to deal with multiple demands on my time and resources.

In addition to my experience in formal, organized settings, I have also gained experience while tutoring a student with special needs, having a difficult past and living circumstance. I

I found that I have both the stamina and the organizational ability to thrive in these circumstances and feel sure that the skills I learned will be an asset to a professional organization. I noticed my ability to tolerate and function within high-stress situations. I also discovered my reassuring nature when it comes to dealing with individuals who need support and adequate motivation to thrive and perform better.

The reason I embarked upon my degree course is because I have a love of learning, getting to understand and know people, and relate it to professional and organizational settings. I would very much welcome the opportunity of an interview to explain how I can combine my enthusiasm for psychology, and people for the benefit of a renowned organization like you.

Yours sincerely,

Lynn Ghaddar
