Dear …………,
I would like to formally apply for the Freight Controller position you advertised today on the Dayjob.com website.
I can take the stress out of importing, exporting and relocating your goods.
What really sets me apart from other contenders for this job is my efficiency at utilising any available freight forwarding resources to deliver excellent service to customers. This combined with a deep understanding of transportation compliance policies, standards and procedures, make me a perfect candidate for your opening.
I come to you as an experienced freight forwarder, who knows about all the things that can go wrong in this industry. Additionally, I’m adaptable, flexible, and willing to adjust my strategies quickly when necessary to meet changing factors like the weather, regulations, or market shifts. I would also like to mention my track record of preparing required shipping documents such as bills of lading, certificates of origin, commercial invoices, and packing lists.
At the moment I am employed by ……………… where I provide a wide range of freight forwarding services to both individuals and business across local, national and international arenas. As part of my duties, I am the operational point of contact for all information related to logistics. I have been commended by my senior managers for choosing the best sea, road and air freight options for a project.
Through my career I have learnt how to ensure all export documentation is completed in line with international trade and compliance. This is a trait that really helps when having to deal with regulatory bodies. After over 3 years of working in this field, I have developed a wealth of industry experience, and now have the skills, knowledge and resources needed to ensure goods are transported safely and arrive in good time.
Aside from the above, I can remain calm under pressure and am able to handle stress effectively. This is an important trait to have in a fast-paced and unpredictable sector like freight, which can be stressful due to tight deadlines and unexpected issues. I consider myself a self starter who is willing to learn to drive my own personal development. I come to you as a friendly individual with a ‘willing to help’ nature, who is super organised and has good social skills.
Right now, I am keen to join a reputable company like yours where I will be able to use all of my abilities to their full potential. I hope that you will find this cover letter in combination with the attached CV enticing enough to invite me to an interview. If you do, then please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours sincerely,
