Robin Friday's Targeted Cover Letter
Date
Return address, phone number, etc.
Good Morning!
I
am enclosing my resume and ask you to consider my application for the position
of _________ you advertised in the AnyTown (name your source) paper last Sunday.
I
will be a senior at MyTown High School. I am learning and using computer skills.
I am a self-starter. For example:
-
I taught myself the basics of Microsoft Word and Excel.
-
I used Word to write thank you letters to the parents who support my 4-H club.
-
I also used Word to write my school papers.
-
I learned to give directions when I worked in the ice cream store.
I have attached a copy of my resume. I am available at your convenience for
an interview.
Sincerely,
Robin Friday
Enclosure
