Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to apply for the position of Customer Service Assistant in a bookstore and have enclosed my CV for your consideration.
With a genuine passion for books, I look forward to joining a team that shares the same enthusiasm. I am a recent graduate in Philology and have gained a solid foundation in my knowledge of literature.
At university I learnt how to be organised and manage my time. I also gained experience of working with people during my two years as a sales assistant in a large department store. This helped me to develop my communication skills so that I can talk to customers and colleagues in a friendly and understanding way.
I am a team player and believe in working together to create a positive work environment. I am keen to learn more about the book industry and this role seems like a great first step towards a career in the book industry.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
Elisabeth Lebedeva.
