Reference: Application for Employment

To Whom It May Concern:

I am taking this opportunity to apply for employment with your organization. As a college student, I will

soon be entering my senior year at Florida Memorial University. I am very eager to supplement my

educational endeavors with employment. Attached you will find my resume and as you take the

opportunity to peruse its contents, you will find that I have my primary experience in Customer Service

and the Retail Industry. However, over the last couple of years I have had the opportunity to work

primarily as a Camp/Aftercare Counselor with elementary aged children. This was quite a pleasurable

experience. Children are enjoyable and our “greatest” assets. Given the chance, an individual can

present them with so many ways to build an impact strong character and moral fortitude. Since I have

experience in both arenas, I would be able to utilize these diversified skills acquired over the last several

years and apply them as an asset to my place of employment. This is an opportunity that I am really

looking forward to and hope that consideration of my employment would make this a lucrative exchange

for both of us.

Allow me to express my sincere appreciation for your taking the time to peruse my resume. I must admit

that I really anticipate becoming a prospective employee with you. Therefore, I thank you in advance for

this opportunity. Please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience.

Respectfully submitted,

Brittany Mathews
