You have seen an advertisement in an English newspaper for a job working in the City Museum shop during the holidays. You decide to apply for the job. Write a letter to the director of the Museum. In your letter: introduce yourself explain what experience and special skills you have explain why you are interested in the job
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.
However
, I believe you will not get a better candidate than me. I have already applied through the job
portal but if you want, I can come with my resume in person. Please let me know if you need any additional documents.
I am looking forward to hearing from you and await your prompt response on this
matter.
With regards,
