To Whom It May Concern:
Could you please take this chance to read my resume as I would like to work at your business Game Traders.
The following skills and attributes will confirm my suitability:
• Take pride in my work with great attention to details
• I am fit, strong and healthy allowing me to work in any conditions.
• Ability to concentrate for long periods of time and able to do repetitive tasks.
• Able to work in a team environment or independently
• Reliable and hard working- able to cope well under pressure when challenged with extra duties as they arise.
• Great communication skills the ability to listen and to follow instructions
• Flexible attitude towards workings hours and available weekends.
I am a hard working honest, team player who is a quick learner, gets along with others and produces quality work. I believe I could be a real asset to your business having a wide knowledge of videogames and products from the Commodore 64 to the Nintendo Wii. I am easy to approach and get along well with people. I have previous experience with money handling and stocking shelves as well as price tagging. I have not had much experience at a register but believe that I would excel in such a role. I am applying for a position with your business because I know it is a role I would excel in given the chance. I would even be willing to work a day unpaid to learn how things work within the business.
Thank you for taking the time to read my resume and application.
I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss my application and look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours Sincerely
Stephen Connors

There should be a comma placed after "yous sincerely". :P
Nah, just kidding, the letter looks solid to me. Oh, and it wouldn't hurt to mention where you have had previous experience, it may help.

But yea, make sure you list any previous experience you may have had, especially if it deals with customer service...don't ask me why, but I've noticed employers love that.
good luck getting the job.

An ability you lack :P
Employers like to hear such small details.

Concentrating for long periods of time can lead to concentrating.

Looks great. I couldn't top it. But just for the hint of perfection,
"....I would like to work at your business, Game Traders."
"I take pride in my work with great attention to details."
"I am a hard working, honest, team player...."
Hope you get the job ;)

It's good overall. Very good, I'd accept you :P
But you forgot to add that you're a raving homosexual hispanic psychobeast who's favorite past times are raping children and women until their bodies have turned to sludge.
ElBatto - November 4, 2007 04:48 AM (GMT)
Believe me Sythe I thought about it but my consultant said that it probably isn't a good buying point for a business owner. I know I don't get it either.
Sythe - November 4, 2007 09:05 AM (GMT)
Saying that would get you jobs in other places.... :3 :x

How often do you upgrade?.. And where do you upgrade at?.. Or only can only you do that?
Thus Spoke Tim - November 10, 2007 04:40 PM (GMT)
Only my dad can upgrade me, but he's in another dimension, so it doesn't happen very often.
