Dear Sir or Madam 
 
Re: Bookshop Assistant Position 
 
I would like to apply for the bookshop assistant position with Global Books.  
 
I am a high school student with extensive experience in customer service. I am eager to continue 
delivering excellent service and developing my skills with Global Books, particularly due to my love of 
travel literature.  
 
I have developed strong interpersonal skills as a result of over three years of experience in customer 
service roles. In my current role, I provide CopyJet customers with accurate information about the print and 
copy department’s products and services, demonstrating my strong verbal communication skills and 
professionalism. I have also demonstrated exceptional organisational skills in this position, managing all 
paperwork in my department and keeping orders on track for delivery. My sound time management skills 
are further evident in my ability to juggle full-time study and part-time work.  
 
I am always eager to seek new responsibilities and learn new skills in the workplace. I am self-motivated 
and enjoy taking initiative to achieve better results for the business. I also enjoy a challenge, and am keen 
to use my skills and experience at Global Books.  
 
I would love the opportunity to discuss my application with you in further detail, and look forward to hearing 
from you.  
 
 
Yours sincerely,  
 
 
Philippa Burns
