Dear Sir/Madam
I wish to apply for the position of Sales Assistant advertised in the Pottsville Advertiser on Friday 29th March 2007.
Over the past few years I have completed courses in Home Maintenance, Wood Work and Power Tools. I am keen to begin a career in Hardware as I believe I now have the experience and personal interest to enable me to be competent in assisting customers with their purchases.
Having experiences in customer service, cash handling and register operation I feel would also be an advantage to your company.
I have enclosed a copy of my resume which has full details of my past experience and contact details of referees who are willing to answer any questions about my ability.
I look forward to expanding on my experiences with you in person at a time convenient and can be contacted on the above phone number.
Yours sincerely
Murry Williams
