Cover letter – example 1
Answer: sales adviser
Dear Sir,
I have been very interested by your advertisement concerning the position of a sales adviser, posted on your company website. Therefore, I am sending my CV.
As you will see, while reading it, I have begun my career in the retail industry very early, and my job required continuous contacts with customers. Also while I was keeping the house and raising three children I kept contacts with all kinds of people.
I consider myself as direct, full of positive energy and enthusiasm, which was especially necessary when I was raising funds for the school parent committee, or when I was collecting signatures for a citizens’ initiatives in my neighbourhood.
Flexible working hours are not a problem for me, because the issue of childcare has already been resolved. For fifteen years, I have a driver’s license and I know Warsaw very well.
Currently I am attending a computer text editing course, which can be useful while working in the office. Of course, my interpersonal skills cannot be fully transferred on a paper, so I hope we will be able to discuss the details during the meeting.
Yours faithfully,
Maria Kowalska
Cover letter – example 2
Dear Sirs,
from two years I have been following closely the labor market in Poland and therefore I know that the human-resources consulting agency CASE works with clients with a significant position in the market. Precisely for this reason I would like to work for your company.
I am a sociology graduate from this year. Master’s thesis about the social perception of the unemployed I defended the assessment of 5 and I received a diploma with honors. Throughout the study period I was very active member of the Scientific Society, as well as one year I served the function of a mayor. In 2012 I organized a scientific conference about the attitudes of the unemployed to work, which sponsored the Regional Labour Office. In the years 2010-2013 I was assistant editor of the Academic Scientific Journal.
I believe that I am a direct, full of enthusiasm and energy person that chip in to others. For all the duties I have a conscientious attitude and great commitment. I have set the ambitious goals through careful planning and I strive to achieve them. I can overcome the difficulties that arise in my way.
I looking for a job that would allow me to use the knowledge gained in college. Best suit me personal counseling departments.
I hope that I will be able to develop further my candidacy during the interview. I believe that my enthusiasm, commitment and loyalty would be important for the company and allow it to achieve even better results.
Yours faithfully,
Aleksandra Kowalska
