    Subject: To apply for the Job role of Graduate Health Promotion Officer at Sydney’s Local Health District
I am writing this letter to apply for the position of Graduate Health Promotion Officer at Sydney’s Local Health District as I found it advertised on the website. I have experience in the MPH programme based on Foundation of Competencies for Master of Public Health Graduates in Australia framework. I have gained adequate skill and knowledge to deal with the real-life public health work. As the job provides opportunity to deal with the public and betterment in the social health environment while enhancing the knowledge, and experience, I believe that my skill and experience in the healthcare field and learnings from the MPH program will best fit me for the mentioned job position.
I have completed graduation in healthcare and have experience in dealing with social health during the learning of MPH programme. In the programme, I was an active member in the project for health advocacy programme, which aimed to eradicate the consumption of tobacco by children and young people of age under 18. I have therefore gained experience and knowledge of planning, implementing, and evaluating health projects for attaining positive results. In the project, I also attained thorough understanding of evidence-based approach, as the initial step of the project was to base our project on validated and updated information on the tobacco consumption of the country. The project had applied the NSW healthcare strategies and I refer to the updated strategies of NSW for further applications in the any related work. The project helped me to be confidently deal with problems not only as a part of the team, but also guided to take decision and apply individual skillset to solve them. I understand the importance of effective communication and always tend to communicate effectively within the team, with community and organizational members and patients at healthcare sectors. I believe that my ve
al, non-ve
al and written communication skills are excellent and when the healthcare sector is concerned, I always possess the patient and family centred care approach to have efficient result.
In the Master of Public Health (MPH) programme, I was selected and actively involved in a 6 months health advocacy programme based project, which targeted to eradicate the tobacco consumption from schools. This project aimed to appeal for necessary amendments to be done by the government and policy makers. In this programme, my understanding on health advocacy, team spirit, leadership definition, and evidence-based approach as well as working with multidisciplinary team members was highly enhanced. There were five members from different geographical and cultural background involved in the team for the same work as I was assigned for. Thus, collaborating within the team members for discussion and suggestions gave the opportunity to learn a lot about cultural diversity with socially and culturally diverse background members.     Comment by user: Learning outcome: To develop and apply teamwork processes and skills for...
