Dear Hiring Manager,
APPLICATION FOR THE POSITION OF AGRICULTURAL OFFICER
I am writing to apply for the position of Agricultural Officer at Extension Africa, which I saw advertised on Omadaily. Extension Africa is a respected name in agriculture, and I would welcome the chance to grow my career with your team.
I hold a B.Agric. Agronomy from Bayero University, Kano, and I have 5 years of experience, most recently as an Agricultural Officer at Riverstone Group Ltd. In this role I support 1,200 smallholder farmers in three states, and I raised maize yields of trained farmers by 35%.
I care about food security and farming in Nigeria, and I would be glad to support the work Extension Africa does across the value chain. I am also skilled in crop production, farmer training and extension services.
I have attached my CV for your review. I would be glad to attend an interview at your convenience to discuss how I can contribute to Extension Africa. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours faithfully,
(Signature)
Maryam Ogunleye
Before you apply to Extension Africa
- Use the exact job title from the advert in the subject line, and say where you saw the job.
- Replace the achievement in the second paragraph with your own best result, with a number if you can.
- If the advert names the recruiter, write "Dear Mr/Mrs [Surname]" and end with "Yours sincerely".
- Apply only through the company’s official website or email. Genuine employers never ask you to pay for a job.
