Job Application Letter 2
|
|
Dear Ms. Wang,
Mark Twain said, "What work I have done, I have done because it has been play." We each spend a lot of time working, and I believe that it's best for everyone--workers and businesses--if a person is enthusiastic about her job. For me, working at your company is an opportunity to have a job that I love. The job of assistant to Mr. Milford sounds like the perfect opportunity for me to use my strong office and people skills, and I believe I'd be a valuable employee for you, meeting your needs for an organized, responsible, and reliable employee.
My current job requires excellent organizational skills. I track the schedules for 10 employees, which shows that I have the necessary skills to keep a calendar and maintain appointment schedules. I also have experience tracking sales and inventory information, since I maintain the store's inventory and sales database.
Good organizational skills require good office skills, like managing an inventory database. I am computer literate in spreadsheet, word processing, and Internet software as well, and I have written letters and memos for work, including a memo to all store managers outlining ways to better meet customer needs. I am willing and able to perform any necessary office duties. Because of this quality, I have picked up new duties over time at my current job by pitching in whenever I'm needed.
Beyond that, I have good people skills. I deal with a lot of people in my current job, including distributors as well as customers and employees. I help solve problems every day. For example, a customer was unhappy because we were out of a sale item. I spoke with her and explained our policy, and I gave her a discount coupon as well as a raincheck. Because I took time to listen to her and talk with her, she was happy with our store when she left.
Treating people well is just one part of being a responsible and reliable employee. I have worked at the same company for many years, and I have taken on additional responsibilities over time, including acting as a temporary manager. Even as my responsibilities have grown, I have grown with them, acquiring new skills and doing everything required of me. I'm looking for an opportunity to do even more.
I'm not writing this letter because I need a new job. Instead, I want a new job--one where I can use new skills and enjoy my work. I believe that the position of assistant to Mr. Milford is the job I am looking for. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to apply to this position, and I hope to meet with you soon.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Strong
