Cover Letter
To whom it may concern:
My characteristics display a person that will by any means carry out my duties to the best of my ability as well as in line with the company’s code of conduct. I follow instruction to the letter and will show initiative where I can.
I have the ability to problem solve different scenarios and welcome any challenge. I view making mistakes as a learning curve and will take ownership which will never be repeated.
Should I be considered for the position I have no problem with working any shift whether it be day or night.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely
John-Ross Southgate
