employment

[bonopicasso]

write a brief statement expressing why you feel you are qualified for this position in Human Resources

[Hymie]

I have excellent organisational and people handling skills, plus relevant qualifications/experience required for the position (or some such similar Bullsh!t).

[factor-fiction]

Why would I want to do that?

It is fine to assert something along the lines as Hymie is suggesting, but the second sentence needs to assert your evidence. Something like 'I have spent the last 3 years managing six people in a fast-moving customer-oriented environment in the food industry'. When all you were was a McDonalds supervisor.
Then expect to be asked about this at any interview.
Remember, the application gets you the interview, the interview gets you the job.
