Tyrone's 7.2 Cover Letter

A note from Tyrone:

I did the extra challenge assignment and created a digital profile using Strikingly. I found this was a really cool web tool to use, as it was really nice looking and very easy to use. It was as simple as clicking on a box, and copying and pasting my résumé and cover letter where I wanted them. I think I might get business cards made to give to prospective employers in the future, because it would save paper if they could view my job stuff online. As for Panago, there's some good news, too-I start next week!

To Whom It May Concern:

While looking through the Cold Lake Sun, I came across your advertisement seeking part-time delivery personnel. I am interested in applying for this position, as I am currently looking for part-time employment while attending high school and feel this would suit my needs, as well as be a task I would excel at. I have a reliable vehicle, a spotless driving record, and enjoy driving and customer service.

Over the years, I endeavoured in numerous ways to build my skills in regard to customer service and handling money. I have experience through volunteer efforts at my Venture Group at handling and counting money, keeping floats, and doing count-outs at various fundraisers. Through the same experiences, I learned valuable skills in regards to customer service, and am personable, humorous, and efficient while performing various transactions at these events. It is these attributes that I can guarantee will be assets to your organization and others. Please see my attached résumé. Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,

Teacher's Comments:

Your content is a bit wordy here: "feel this would suit my needs, as well as..." "It is these attributes that I can guarantee will be assets..." Keep your cover letter simple and concise; the key is to have it easy to read and intriguing to a potential employer. Wordiness might frustrate your reader.

Putting your contact information under your name is effective because it is the last thing an employer sees.
