My name is Tina Gibbs and I am an incoming freshman at ABC State University set to start classes this fall. I am responding to the ad in the campus job bank for a position as a cashier at the ABC Campus Bookstore. I have experience working part-time for the past 2 years as a sales clerk and cashier at a women’s clothing store. The ad indicates that you are looking for students with some previous experience working as cashiers and that you are able to arrange work schedules around class schedules. This would be an excellent arrangement for me, particularly because my dorm is 2 blocks from the bookstore.
I am an extremely hard worker and dedicated to providing excellent customer service. I have experience operating cash registers, computers and optical price scanners. I am skilled at keeping up with inventory, arranging display windows and placing special orders for customers. I have excellent math skills along with experience maintaining all counter and office supplies. I am able to keep a cash drawer balanced, make proper change, accept personal checks and process credit card transactions in a secure manner. I have experience opening and closing a store, answering customer questions and handling refunds and exchanges as well.
My application and resume are attached along with a letter of reference from Ms. Cynthia Barker, the owner of XYZ Fashions where I worked as a cashier and sales clerk for the past 2 years.I hope you will review all of my information and contact me if you have questions or would like to discuss my experience and qualifications. I am available for a telephone or personal interview any time at your convenience and you may contact me on my cell phone at 555-555-5555 or by email at email@email.com. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
