Dear Sir or Madam:

It is with great interest that I am forwarding my resume for consideration within your

organization for the Merchandiser position you currently have available. Combining my previous

experience within customer-centered environments with strong interpersonal and communication

abilities, I am confident that you will quickly realize my ability to make major contributions to your

organization.

I possess a great work ethic and superb team skills, can work alone without supervision or

direction, have many years in merchandising and marketing experience including a team lead

position. I am able to follow plan-o-grams, set up and tear down displays, shelving, etc. I have

travelled all over Alberta from south to north and am willing to travel for work. I possess the ability

to adapt quickly in new and changing business, social, and cultural environments and have a

flexible schedule and am always ready to help at a moment’s notice.

My record of employment demonstrates attributes that make me a valuable employee. In all of

my employment positions, I have maintained an excellent record of being on time, prepared, and

eager to take on new responsibilities. The majority of my work history has been either supervisory

or management positions which only further proves my ability to excel.

My goal within the next year is to register for the Marketing Management program at Athabasca

University and I hope to find a company in which I can grow with and ultimately obtain a career

with. I enjoy what I do, and I do it with passion. I enjoy building those relationships with clients and

work hard to keep those relationships great.

My resume is enclosed to provide you with details of my skills and accomplishments, but I am

certain that a personal interview would more fully reveal my desire and ability to contribute to your

organization. Thank you for your time and consideration, and do not hesitate to contact me if you

have any questions. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Sincerely,

Kristina Larson
