Dear Mr. Mitchell,

As an avid skater on both blades and wheels, I can't imagine a better job than sharing my enthusiasm with your customers. When I saw your ad in the Boise News for a junior sales associate, I immediately put together the attached resume to send you. Please consider me for the position.

I am available for interviews any day during spring break next week. I'll give you a call to see when you can meet with me.

Thank you!

Stan Hedgeland
General Manager
Rock 'n Roll Records
123 Parklanding Road
Atlantic City, NJ 12345

Dear Mr. Hedgeland,

I'd like to apply for the retail sales job opening you listed in the Atlantic Express last Friday. Throughout high school, I spent a little more time listening to rock 'n roll (as well as more current music styles) than my parents wished. As a result, I consider myself a 1950-to-present music buff, and would love a job that involved working with and around other people with that interest.

I'm an easy person to get along with and I'm pretty ambitious (I was voted "most likely to succeed" by my senior classmates). I can picture myself doing well on your sales floor.

I'm enclosing my resume in which I show not only my after-school jobs, but also my love of music, records, and musical instruments. I think you'll see that I live for music.

I'll come by your store next week in hopes of speaking with you about the job.

Thank you!

Frank Pardona

Mr. James Johnson
President and CEO
BEST Trucking, Inc.
485 Fortuna Blvd.
Cambridge, VA 12345

Dear Mr. Johnson,

When you placed the ad in the East Coast Times for controller, were you hoping to find someone who thinks on his feet and comes up with good solutions, even when under pressure? I thought so.

Fourteen years of experience as a controller at the city's leading produce distributor has taught me how to manage large overhead and constant financial activity. As you can imagine, in a business that deals with perishables, the cash flow fluctuates quickly and greatly. I would love to show you my record of cash flow management at Associated Growers.

I suspect you will be out of town next week for the big transportation convention. I'd like to call you the week after to see when we can meet. I trust that my attached resume will serve as a good introduction until we speak in person.

Thank you!

Hal Collins

Re: Freelance Editor, position 12345

I found your job posting in the New Orleans Chronicle Star last Monday. I am a freelance writer/editor with experience in children's books, very similar to what the job posting asks for.

In addition to reading the enclosed resume, please take a look at my writing samples at www.lucywang.com. If you prefer, I will send you hardcopy samples.

My schedule typically allows for about 25 hours of freelance work per week. I would be delighted if that could be consumed with children's projects from Amber Press.

Thank you for responding to my application.

Sincerely,

Lucy Lu Wang
