Retail Assistant Cover Letter Example

My name is Mack Connelly and I am currently an economics major at The Open University. I am now looking for a job where I can use everything I’ve learned during the course of my education, while getting the chance to further hone my skills and learn a proper profession. With this in mind, I was very excited to read about the available position as retail assistant at Mango. I am convinced that this job would suit me well and that I, in turn, would be a great fit for the job. I believe there are several factors that indicate that I would be the right person to contribute to your future success. First of all, I have the relevant work experience for the position. I have previously worked as sales assistant at H&M, which has taught me a great deal about what it takes to be a valued employee. I also have the right educational background to meet the requirements for the retail assistant position. Studying at The Open University has been very valuable to me in several key ways. Aside from acquiring the skills and knowledge associated with economics, I have also managed to build a sizable network, and have had the opportunity to participate in exciting projects, in addition to my academic coursework. Experience and knowledge are important aspects, but they tend to pale in comparison to having the right personal qualities. I am often described as adaptable, service-minded and communicative – traits that I believe are all important to succeeding as retail assistant. I hope this application has been of interest to you, and please do not hesitate to get in touch with me if you want me to expand on anything, or if you want to learn more about me. It would be a pleasure to meet you for an interview! Best regards, Mack Connelly
