I am an experienced Senior Trader, who is flexible, adaptable and able to manage multiple priorities at the same time, all of this makes me believe that I would be a strong candidate for your vacancy.
As a driven individual who wants to progress, I am now looking to work in an energetic and performance-driven environment. I feel that a forward thinking and exciting organisation is a natural place for a hard working team player like myself who is forward thinking, fully accountable and resilient.
At my previous employer, The Standard Bank of South Africa Ltd, where I have worked for the last 7 years, I was renowned for being able to motivate, mobilise, and coach my fellow colleagues to meet high performance standards. I can easily work with others in a professional manner while attempting to achieve a common goal, and would like to highlight my experience in areas such as:

Apart from my record as a professional Trader, which speaks for itself, I am a sociable person who has a natural ability of talking to, and building relationships with, all kinds of people. I also consider myself to be a personable professional whose strengths include cultural sensitivity and an ability to build rapport with a diverse workforce in multicultural settings.
One of my strongest points is my self-motivation which allows me to perform well under pressure and against aggressive deadlines in any pressurised environment. Being a highly analytical thinker I am able to quickly identify, scrutinise, improve, and streamline complex work processes.
