I wish to apply for the position of

I wish to apply for the position of teacher aide as advertised in the Adelaide Advertiser on 2 September 2002.
Last year I completed Year 12 at Valley View Secondary School. I obtained good results in English, mathematics, home economics, biology and geography. I am particularly keen to obtain a position as a teacher aide as I am interested in working with children and have held several voluntary and paid positions as a baby sitter for children up to ten years old. I relate well to children and can sing and play the guitar. I also have a portfolio of my art work.
Since leaving school, I have been employed part-time as a checkout operator. In this role I have demonstrated that I am responsible and reliable and a good team worker. Customers have often complimented me on my attention to their needs and my willingness to go beyond the call of duty.
Thank you for considering my application. I have enclosed a copy of my resume. I look forward to meeting you and providing further information in an interview. I can be contacted at anytime on my mobile phone number which is 08 5891 9961
