I was intrigued by Craigslist website to have an interest to become a
Retail Sales Representative advertised by your company on the employment
website. Recently, I had the pleasure to review your company's web site and
I am very enthusiastic about the position advertised. I believe that my
combination of technical skills and business sensibilities and experience
would serve your organization quite well according to the specified skill-
set that is currently requested for this position.
My undergraduate educational background with a primary focus geared towards
Management Information Systems when combined with my most recent
professional experience will afford me the opportunity to comfortably fit
in various aspects of your organization. These factors have allowed me to
devote some of my spare time teaching basic mathematical/accounting
principles and practices to local area students.
I have every confidence that I am quite capable of utilizing my educational
background and professional skills to assist in your organization as deemed
necessary. My ability to learn at an accelerated rate and also to work
under limited supervision once given an assignment will allow me to be
utilized in other capacities in your organization. I work well with my
colleagues and I possess the desire to be utilized in any area of your
organization that will contribute to its' overall daily success.
I greatly appreciate you taking time to review my credentials and
experience. I hope that you will find my experience, interests and
character intriguing enough to warrant a face-to-face meeting, as I am
confident that I could provide value to you and your customers as a member
of your team.
Best regards,
Lyncola P. Odell
