Dear Mr Smith

I would like to apply for the Volunteer’s position, as advertised recently. I work for a number of different charities, raising money for surgeons building hospitals for the poor of Western Ghana, raising money for various Armed Forces charities, most recently, helping to organise a fund-raising dinner where we raised £7,500 on the night with a full sit down dinner, sponsored entertainment and a silent auction. I enjoy talking to people while respecting their views if they make it clear they are not interested in pursuing the conversation. I am also involved in the Women’s Institute and help with our Village fete and church activities.

I am a strong believer in supporting the community and I would really love to get more involved to help you deliver your services and carry on the good work!

office jobs cover letter examples

Writing a cover letter for the job role in the Office industry.

If you are interested in working in the Office industry you will usually have some office skills, this could be administration, answering the telephone, dealing with the post, filing, photocopying etc.

There are many different roles within the office industry such as:

Office Junior

Receptionist Administrator

Secretary

Personal Assistant

Office Manager

Whatever role you are interested in pursuing opens up different avenues within the office industry but employers will be looking for someone who is good with computers, can type, has some experience of working in an office environment and understands the basics of how an office works.

Working in an office is an important role however senior the role because without an efficient office running the behind the scenes part of a business then it would be disorganised chaos.  Employers will be looking for people who are organised in their work and can multi task, doing a number of things at once without getting too caught up in the pressure.

People who work in an office are usually the eyes and ears of the business and usually know more about what’s going on than any other department, this is important to a business.

If you go into a company as an office junior you will gain valuable experience from other people who did the same job as you when they started and it is very important to learn as much as you can and take it on board to be able to process well within the office industry.

Usually the process for applying for jobs is through sending a CV and covering letter direct to a company but you could be required to complete an application form either as part of the application process or prior to any interview. It is important to follow the correct procedures for each business as some companies will only accept an application form and if this is the case they generally will not look at your CV so there is little point sending it to them.

Retail Jobs Cover Letter Examples

Retail jobs cover letter example

Writing a cover letter for the job role in the retail industry.

There are always excellent opportunities within the retail sector as there are very few entry-level requirements, and the possibility of promotion is excellent once you have proved you are a reliable and capable employee.  Roles include customer service assistants, supervisors, retail managers, shelf-stockers, and many supermarkets are branching out into different sectors and may require specialist skills such as butchers, bakers or bureau de change assistants.

Customer Service Assistant is probably the most common role within the retail industry.  No qualifications are required for this post although you will need to demonstrate your ability to provide friendly, efficient customer service and work within a team.

Most large retailers will advertise their vacancies online, and require you to complete an online application form.  The advantage of this is that you can usually subscribe to their job website and receive updates on relevant new vacancies.  Smaller or independent retailers are more likely to advertise their vacancies in local newspapers or in their shop window, and request CV applications via post or email.  In either case if you pass the initial selection process you will usually be offered a one-to-one interview, and be advised of the outcome shortly afterwards.

Retail Cover Letter Example

Dear Sir/Madam

Please find enclosed my CV in application for the post advertised on Creative Opportunities for the Customer Service assistant role.

Following my previous work experience and being a recent graduate of film making: design and production, I feel very prepared for this position. Using the skills I gained from the degree such as producing directing and editing my own short films and the qualities I gained from previous jobs, for example working in a fast paced environment under pressure, remaining calm under a deadline, dealing with angry clients and working hard to keep them happy. I feel blending all these together will equip me for this job as customer service assistant. Since graduating I’ve produced and directed my own fashion film and found a real passion for working with clothes, therefore using my previous retail experience and my interests, I feel would lend well to this role.

I can work under pressure, keeping a can- do positive attitude, and with the nature of my degree I will be able to deal with customers efficiently. For my course, an understanding of working to a deadline was essential. I found this subject very stimulating.

I should be very grateful for the opportunity to progress with your team. I have not only the ability to take on the responsibility of this position immediately, but also the enthusiasm and determination to ensure that I make a success of it. Thank you for taking the time to consider this application and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Yours sincerely

I should like to apply for the position of IT Manager, as advertised recently. I am currently working in the public sector and owing to down-sizing within the IT department am looking to return to work in the private sector as a consultant where I originally spent the first part of my career. During my time in the public sector, I have trained and developed my team and we now co-ordinate the running of a large network including high levels of security and logins, and with a high degree of regulatory compliance with regard to the storage and archiving of files; I am also responsible for security, given that we have a large number of remote and home workers, where remote login needs to be authenticated and secure. This is a very responsible role and I am used to running a team and reporting to a fine degree, across all the aspects I have outlined.

I would like to be considered for this position as I am used to being able to diagnose and solve a wide range of IT issues quickly and efficiently and I feel I would be ideally suited to this role.

I look forward to discussing this with you and I am available for interview at your convenience.

I attach my CV and look forward to hearing from you as appropriate.

Catering Jobs Cover Letter Examples

By Guest Author

Writing a cover letter for the job role in the Catering Industry.

If you are interested in pursuing a career within the catering industry then you will be looking for a hands on role and have a real passion for food and preparing food usually for a number of people at any one time.

You could be looking to work in a school helping and preparing food for school children at lunch time, or you could be working in a hospital serving patients or you could be working for a private company doing lunches, buffets, parties etc and prepare food for different occasions.

Some roles within the catering industry are as follows:

Kitchen staff

Chef Sous

Chef

Kitchen Porter

All these roles require some stamina as you will be on your feet all day, looking at ingredients, planning menus, preparing food and cooking meals then serving meals and the cleaning up afterwards.  Employers will be interested in your previous employment skills and will be looking for an interest in food and that you can work in a hands on and pressurised role.

Most people begin getting some kitchen experience through washing dishes or cutting up vegetables for food preparation but all the while learning new skills and watching the chefs or catering staff completing the food that they are preparing for whatever outcome be it in a school or an occasion.  It is valuable experience and one that most chefs start with.

If you are applying for a role within a public company eg: working for a school or hospital then you will be required to complete an application form which you will need to detail all your education and employment experiences in accordance with their form. If it is a private company then you will normally submit a CV and a covering letter to support your application form and for a private company it will be a less formal process where you will probably be interviewed by the business owner.

Example Cover Letter for Catering Jobs

Dear Recruitment Manager,

I wish to apply for the advertised position of Catering Assistant with your company, and have enclosed my CV for your consideration.

I have spent the last two years working at AAA Catering, in the capacity of both behind the scenes and in a customer facing role. From this, I have gained a great deal of experience in preparing, presenting and storing food at public and private events, both large and small. While at AAA Catering, I completed a number of courses at my local catering college, studying in the evenings and at weekends.

I am a hard worker and I can work well within a team, following instructions and making suggestions alike. I am now seeking a new position that will help me to develop my skills further and I believe that the role you are offering would allow me to make a real impact within your company.

I am eager to discuss my training and experience in more detail and would be delighted to talk to you at interview. Please feel free to contact me if you need any additional information.

I look forward to hearing from you.
