Curatorial Assistant Cover Letter Sample

Dear Recruiters,

As a knowledgeable and motivated individual, I am pleased to be applying for the Curatorial Assistant job within Thomas Wind Museum in Reading, United Kingdom. Not only I am confident that I possess everything necessary to execute the job and all duties successfully but I also believe that it would be a great opportunity for me to grow both personally and professionally.

To shortly introduce myself, my name is Nadine Jegou and I am a Certified Professional Curator with a bachelor's degree in Art History with Economics from the University of Reading. At the university, I was not only among the top 10% of students with the best academic results but I also participated in multiple extracurricular activities, including Marketing Society, Swimming Club, and Tennis Club. The engagement in these activities has helped me to develop excellent time management and organizational skills and allowed me to acquire the ability to function well in a team setting.

In addition, I worked as a Curatorial Assistant at Victoria & Albert Museum for more than three years. There, I was given the responsibility for conducting inventories of archaeology collections, maintaining 1500+ valuable museum pieces, managing the museum databases, and training and supervising new personnel. Furthermore, I installed exhibitions, monitored art auctions, and communicated with visitors.

Next, I am a native French speaker with a proficiency in English and a basic knowledge of Chinese which has proved to be crucial numerous times throughout the years. Possessing the experience with multiple important industry software programs, for instance, Doubleknot, Salsa Labs, and PastPerfect, I believe that I am an ideal candidate for the job. Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to speaking with you in the near future.

Sincerely,

Nadine Jegou
