Dear Ms Roberts

Vacancy for Receptionist

 

I am writing in reply to your advert for the above post, which was advertised in The Guardian on Tuesday 30 April 2007, and I enclose my CV in application.

I have always been interested in working in the tourist industry, and during the school holidays I used to work part-time at a local hotel. Please find detail of my qualifications and work experience in the enclosed curriculum vitae.

I was a student of Croft Secondary School until last July. Since then I have been working as a waitress in an Italian restaurant. At my present job, I have direct contact with customers and I also have to take telephone reservations. In addition, I am very experienced in dealing with customer complaints.

I feel that the position offered would be ideal in giving me the opportunity to use my education and skills to provide a high level of service.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely

Sara Green

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am interested in applying for the job of helper with the Antarctic Research Project, advertised the London Times on Tuesday 18 August 2010, and I enclose my CV in application.

My reasons for wishing to join the team are that I have always been fascinated by wildlife and I would very much like to expand my knowledge of wildlife by doing research of this kind.

I enclosed my Curriculum Vitae. As you will see, I have worked in two veterinary practices in my spare time and have spent some time in the north of England helping a vet during the lambing season.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Adrian Roberts
