Dear Employer,
My name is Deborah Joseph & I am currently eighteen years old. I graduated high school at the age of
fifteen in the year 2010, and I am working towards graduating from Miami Dade College with my
Associates' degree in English/Literature & Writing as a Miami Dade College part time student. I am
down-to-earth and very friendly as well. I also love to get things done, and I am open to anyone and
everyone who'd like to get to know me. I am a loyal and clearly dedicated individual who has an ambition
to succeed in any given environment. I love to learn, and I am always up for a challenge whatever the
situation. I get along well with others & also work efficiently on my own. I am available for both part
time and full time job positions. I am willing to work all weekends and/or holidays. If I am a qualified
candidate for this job opening please feel free to contact me at this current number 786-***-**** or
email me at "********@*****.***". I am seeking a position where I can develop and excel while giving
my best to an employer. It would be an honor working in this field for this company especially in such an
exciting career as this. I have plenty of experience within the work place especially in the retail industry
& professionalism in everything I both do & take part in. I have held a paying job since the age of sixteen
and have also been in very vigorous voluntary community service work completing double the hours of
service needed to graduate so it is not at all hard to believe that I always take my work seriously. If you
consider me, I guarantee that I will not let you or the company down. I will do whatever I can to improve
services whether it is with customers or with the branch. I promise to benefit my employer in every way
possible and you will not regret it. Thanks for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon!
Kind regards,
Deborah Joseph
