Dear Sir, I, Lisa Akter, am a student in the Marketing Management course at Toronto Metropolitan University. Recently, I have noticed a job vacancy in the city Museum shop. Moreover, I am residing just five minutes away from the museum by car. Hence, my commute will be very convenient, if I get a job there. On top of it, as the schedule is set up only for the holidays, I am full-time available on the weekend. Currently, I am working as a sales representative at Home Depot. I love my current job but my academic schedule is totally contradictory with it. Further to this, I have been working there for almost more than a year and my experience fits perfectly with the job requirements provided in the ad. In addition to this, I introduced every corner of the museum, also known to local people's preferences.
