Katie C.

Dear Sir / Madam, I would like to apply for the job vacancy, please find my Curriculum Vitae attached. Throughout my experience in each role I have always put customers first, by being an attentive listener and using my communication skills to cater to their needs. Although I work well on my own initiative, I am a dedicated team player. I am very trustworthy and have been allocated jobs in school, most recently being the debs committee treasurer, which requires being responsible for cash management, banking and basic accounts. I have always been socially committed and have worked as a volunteer for the last three summers, Easter and Halloween breaks and every weekend as a respite camp facilitator. I worked with children of all abilities catering to their needs, as a dance tutor supported by SNA’s and childcare staff. I was able to use my interest in music to a positive, teaching art and dance classes there. Here I was trusted with registering clients, recording fees and money management. I have worked in two hair salons where I gained great experience. I organized appointments with customers on the phone, cleaned areas/work-spaces and served refreshments. Working in Oxfam charity shop, I achieved a vast amount of experience in the retail sector. I took part in customer sales, restocking of items and upkeep of the shop. In the Youth Café, I attended to needs of children and teenagers, organized files and volunteers, and cleaning and restocking the café. I believe my past experience would make me a good contender for your household. I am eager to learn new skills and to improve on the skills I have already learned. I hope you find me to be a suitable candidate for the position. I am available for interview anytime.
