To Whom It May Concern:
I am a reliable 25
year-old seeking employment with _________ as a _________. I believe
my past journalism research experience and high level of computer
literacy will be beneficial in this role. I also plan to undertake
further study next year in the field of librarianship and this role
would allow me to both support myself financially while giving me an
insight into how library items are catalogued.
I am able to bring the
following experience to this role:
While completing my senior
schooling and commencing tertiary study, I worked for the ---------------. Being there for two and a half years taught me skills in
customer service, till operation, upselling, merchandising and stock
handling. I worked well within the team and was considered to be a
reliable, friendly, honest, hard-working member.
I have also worked as a
nanny for a family that travelled around France for 3 months. I cared
for their two young daughters and carried out housekeeping duties.
Being overseas and taking care of children were both rewarding and
fulfilling experiences that have given me further confidence and
perspective as a person, qualities I believe would be beneficial in
the workplace.
I am accustomed to hard
work. From July 2007 to July 2009 I worked part time at ------------ as a production line assistant. I enjoyed the physicality of the role
whether it be picking/ packing stock or actively assisting team
members with factory and machine cleans. In this physical role I also
applied problem solving skills to any production challenges. Working
at ------------- reinforced the importance of working with and having
a cohesive team. I left before commencing my final semester of
university to concentrate on my studies.
Having completed my
Bachelor of Journalism, I took up a position at the ----------------- as a Media Information Officer (July 2010 –
December 2011). In this role, research and digital media skills were
strengthened and a basic understanding of library databases formed. I
was also able to apply past customer service experience to develop
and maintain positive client relationships by dealing with customer
inquiries in a timely and friendly manner.
I have full availability,
am able to commence work immediately and I look forward to hearing
from you.
Yours sincerely,
Kahli Hethorn
