Dear Sir/Madam
I am currently an HR Manager within one of the bigger construction companies. However, I do feel I have
reached my glass ceiling and do not see myself gaining further opportunities for learning, growth and career
development within the organisation. More importantly I want to be able to see the difference I make in the
organization and the value add, however this industry and the organization itself do not see the need to take
advantage of my skills as a strategic out of the box thinker planning for the future.
Throughout my career, my aim has been to educate and develop myself as much as I can in every aspect of
Human Resources, from recruitment & selection, Employee relations, Training & Development,
Performance management, Compensation and benefits, Organisational Development, Change Management
being the key focus areas amongst many. The past 5 years has seen me fulfilling a Senior manager role in
the business unit Exco teams that dealt with, executes and is part of all business strategic objectives from an
HR and business perspective, managing the full HR budget from training and development, recruitment,
mentorships, learnerships and bursaries, maintaining and drafting new policies and procedures in line with
the business requirements, playing a key role in salary benchmarking and remuneration together with job
grading and profiling, oversee and manage the full operational function for the division in terms of
Transformation and Change Management. Manage and facilitate the Industrial Relations processes within
the business unit as well as manage and provide guidance and support to the HR team.
My current projects include being part of the strategic project management team that is re-developing the
Leadership capacity building programmes, effective training, development and talent management. I
consider BEE as one of my ongoing projects as I am currently the business unit BEE champion ensuring
targets are met and the challenges overcome. My role is therefore quite diverse and has been quite intense
for the last 4 years. I consider myself a proactive individual being able to manage the various projects and
tasks successfully no matter the challenge or difficulty.
I would consider this a real honour to be given the opportunity to work for a reputable organisation.
Yours faithfully
Kameshre Naidoo

“People are my passion. I strive for excellence in everything I do and I persevere in the face of
adversity. Every day in HR is a challenge balancing the people, personalities and the work that
comes with these dynamics. I believe that in order to be recognised within an organisation as a
