Dear Sir or Madam, In search of a new challenge and an expanded sphere of activity, I am applying for the advertised position as purser. With my many years of commercial experience, my versatility, my strong old virtues and my passion for the sea and shipping, I am convinced that I can provide you with the best possible support and offer significant added value for the operation and guests of your vessel. Over the course of my professional career, I have gained extensive experience in organizing and coordinating complex processes. I have consistently proven that I can develop creative and customized solutions even under extreme time pressure. These skills enable me to efficiently manage operational procedures on board and oversee financial and logistical tasks, while ensuring that guest care and experiences meet the highest standards. With my extensive training as an industrial business management assistant in a renowned DAX-listed company and my subsequent work in purchasing, I have developed a strong business understanding, particularly in the areas of cost optimization, contract negotiations and supplier management. As the founder of an event agency, I was responsible for organizing exclusive events and trips, as well as for financial management and budget planning. In doing so, I always took into account the individual wishes of the guests and created unforgettable experiences for them. I have also proven that I can maintain an overview, make decisions confidently and successfully implement projects, even under demanding conditions. These experiences have further strengthened my flexibility, resilience and organizational skills. I would like to apply these skills in the administration of the on-board cash register and in the organization and care of the owner and his guests on board. In my current role as an experienced real estate agent, specializing in exclusive properties and discerning clients, I have learned to meet the highest standards. Through my years of experience in the real estate industry, I have developed a high degree of empathy, tact and adaptability – skills that enable me to act confidently and meet individual needs precisely, even in challenging situations. I have also acquired in-depth knowledge of accounting and financial management, enabling me to efficiently manage the financial aspects. As an interface between various stakeholders, I have successfully communicated and mediated to find workable solutions that satisfy all parties. About 10 years ago, I obtained the pleasure craft skipper license for the sea (SBF See) and inland waterways (SBF Binnen). In December 2024, I successfully completed the theoretical part of the Sport Coastal Skipper License (SKS – Sportküstenschifferschein) under sail and engine. Now I just have to take the practical exam. In addition, I will soon be taking the radio operator exams (SRC and UBI). These maritime qualifications complement my profile and enable me to professionally and competently master the practical requirements on board. My systematic approach, combined with deep loyalty and discretion, ensures that your concerns are handled efficiently, reliably and with the utmost confidentiality. Thanks to my strong organizational skills and ability to grasp new concepts quickly, I can quickly familiarize myself with new tasks and provide flexible support where it is most urgently needed on board. In-depth knowledge of financial management, a structured, solution-oriented approach and a high level of initiative ensure that the owner and the crew can rely on me in every situation. If you are looking for a highly motivated and resilient employee who impresses with her cheerful, humorous and outgoing nature, combines organizational talent with in-depth experience in finance, service excellence and guest relations, and carries out her tasks with the utmost care and responsibility, I look forward to meeting you in person. Yours sincerely, Natascha Fazal
