My name is Jeff Stevens and I just graduated from XYZ City High School. I am preparing to start college in the fall at XYZ State College with plans to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Business. I am paying my way through school and would appreciate the opportunity to work part-time in the late afternoon and evening at one of the ABC Convenience Stores in your district. I am a hard worker and a quick study, and look forward to going through the corporate training program.
I have excellent math and computer skills and believe I would be able to quickly learn how to operate the store cash register and computer system. I understand the importance of superior customer service and know that a commitment to customer satisfaction is a top priority at ABC Convenience Stores. I am honest and trustworthy and I am willing and able to go through a criminal background check and drug test.
While in high school I played varsity baseball and basketball all 4 years, serving as the captain of the baseball team both my junior and senior years. I served as the student government vice president and the president of the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) my senior year. I was also in the Beta Club and participated in the Relay for Life fundraiser for cancer all 4 years. I am determined to learn all I can about running a business by taking college coursesand through practical experience learned on the job as it is my goal to run my own business one day.
I hope you will review my attached application, resume and reference letter from Mr. Warren Davidson, principal of XYZ City High School, should you find that you need another cashier. I am happy to come to your office for a personal interview any time. Please call me on my cell phone at 555-555-5555or contact me via email at email@email.com.
