Personal Statement

I am applying for a position as Beauty/SPA Therapist position as I am very interested in pursuing a career in this Industry..

I am a talented, self-motivated and detail-oriented CIBTAC/CIDESCO Graduate, who recently left the corporate world and retrained as a Beauty Therapist, so I could work in a field that I am truly passionate about.

I studied Beauty Therapy at one of the most reputable schools in London (The London School of Beauty and Makeup), pursuing the highest standards of education and graduating, with Honours, from CIBTAC and CIDESCO (including the new CIDESCO POST-GRADUATION DIPLOMA IN SPA THERAPY). I am very interested in applying my knowledge and skills to the Beauty/SPA/Holistic Therapies, as I am a cultured and beauty-savvy Therapist who enjoys keeping updated with the latest trends in the industry.

I am a hands-on professional with a solid academic background and a University Degree in Languages, which means I have excellent language skills (I speak 5 languages).

I am highly committed and willing to work flexible hours. I have excellent customer service skills and a pleasant and friendly attitude. I love working in this fast-paced, ever changing environment where I get to meet so many different types of people. I find this career to be fun and stimulating and I am excited about the possible opportunity to work for your company.

I am very well presented in a classic, demure way and an effective communicator, as well as a team player, keeping a positive and flexible attitude towards change. I am a hard worker and a fast learner, highly motivated towards achieving results.

I consider the years I have spent working in other industries as an advantage, as this helped me become the very responsible and reliable therapist I am today, with the ability of managing my time wisely and maturity for making important decisions under pressure. I also take pride in maintaining an organised and sterile environment to ensure the safety of all clients.

I am certain that, after viewing my credentials and talking with me in person, you will agree that I am the best applicant for the job you are offering.

Thank you for your best attention and consideration.
