Dear Mrs Smith  
I am very interested to apply for the Hairstylist/ Junior  position recently 
advertised in The Greenock Telegraph. The range of skills I have developed 
from my work experience and training support  my real interest and passion in 
a hairdressing career.  
As you will see from my CV, the time I spent studying at James Watt College  
gave the opportunity to gain practical experience and knowledge of 
hairdressing. Work was carried out in a real working environment so I have a 
good understanding of the daily demands in a salon. My marks during the 
course were regularly in the top 5% of class grades.  I have also worked as a 
part-time Crew Member for the past 2 years, gaining first rate customer care 
skills. I have been formally rewarded, being named ‘Employee of the Month’ 
four times in total. 
Since I decided to pursue a hairdressing career, Abfab has been at the top of 
my list of prospective employers. Your salon is highly respected locally and I 
know that two of your stylists have recently been put forward for the Scottish 
Hairdresser of the Year 2010. 
I would very much like an opportunity to speak with you regarding the 
position. I am available for interview as soon as is suitable for you and enclose 
my contact details. 
With a view to talking about more about this position, I will call you towards 
the end of next week. Alternatively you can reach me in the meantime at 
07777 777777 or 0141 000 0000.  
Thank you for considering me for this position. 
Yours Most Sincerely, 
Your name  then signature
