COVER LETTER

  • Dear Hiring Manager
  • I am writing to express my strong interest in returning to retail work, and believe my wide-ranging experience makes me a great fit for your team.
  • I built my career working for nearly 8 years as an independent market trader, where I developed core retail skills from sourcing stock and creating attractive displays, to serving customers, hitting sales targets and managing finances. Since then I have gained further experience across customer-facing, operational and care roles – all of which have strengthened my ability to communicate well, stay organised, and deliver consistent service even when busy.
  • I am friendly, reliable and comfortable working independently or as part of a team. I am happy to work flexible hours, including weekends and bank holidays, and I am eager to bring my enthusiasm and practical skills to help your store run smoothly and deliver great experiences for every customer.
  • Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the chance to discuss how I can contribute to your team.
  • Yours sincerely
  • Yvonne Boardman
