To Whom It May Concern,
I am submitting the enclosed resume in order to be considered for employment with your organization. I am confident that my past work experiences have equipped me with the skills needed to successfully fulfill this position, and I also look forward to exercising my natural ability to work fast-paced social environment such as yours.
Although I am currently a student majoring in English literature so that I can become an English teacher. My resume consists of a variety of positions that were all generally related to working with/for the public. While I have worked as a teaching assistant in a day care center, I have gained many office skills while working as a receptionist and office assistant, and I am always eager to pick up new ones. I am not only a fast learner, but I also adapt easily to new and various situation, and working with your company will also enable me to utilize my customer service skills I gained while working in retail. I keep a level head in intense situations and I work very well with the public.
I hope that my resume will serve as proof of my eligibility as a suitable candidate for the stated position, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you for your consideration,
Gwendolyn E. Curry
