Personal Letter. To : Future Employer From : Aidi Affendi Kusim Date : Monday June 04, 2018
Dear Future Employer, I shall in the following briefly describe my experience since my graduation from Bachelor and Master of Architecture to my professional career in both private and public sector. I want to point out that all the grades indicated in the resume are based on Malaysian and United Kingdom grading system. Graduated in Bachelor of Architecture with a First Class Degree and 6 consecutive Dean’s List Awards, I then decided to gain industrial experience for a year at Hij jas Kasturi Associates as an assistant architect where I was widely exposed to design, architecture and construction industry. I had the opportunity to collaborate with consultants from different fields and expertise for a number of projects in Hij jas Kasturi Associates. I then pursued Master of Architecture in University of Manchester and graduated with merit. Upon graduating, I was accepted to join the most prestigious fellowship programme in the country, Perdana Fellows Programme which I was then officially absorbed into the office as a special officer.

As a special officer, I was responsible to monitor and manage communication strategy through conventional and social media, and to communicate the minister ’s strategic directions to enhance the ministerial reputation, political branding, and public presence. I also developed, planned and executed activities and programs with stakeholders to strategically deliver the ministerial public initiatives and roles based on the organizational objectives. In addition, I also managed and prepared reliable sources of information from government ministries, departments and corporate organizations aside from managing and providing research findings and draft speeches for the Minister. I managed and executed special assignments and projects from time to time. I was the Content Director for Expo Negaraku, a month-long national infrastructure expo which showcased all infrastructure projects and future infrastructure masterplans of the country. I was also involved in the planning, designing, construction and operational phase of the expo. I was also incharge in preparing the national manifesto for GE14, which established all aspects and covered all sectors related to the government’s agenda. I am seeking employment that will make best use of my skills and allow me to develop them further. All in all to be part of your team with the position you offer would be an opportunity I would really love to have. Sincerely,
Aidi Affendi Aidi Affendi Kusim
