Dear Mr Willis,
I am writing to apply for the position of Part-Time Sales Assistant which I saw in the newspaper I bought while I was walking my dog, Pedro, yesterday.
I am 16 years old, I am tall and I have got long brown curly hair. I have got one sister, who I get on with very well.
Although I don’t have any experience of working in a shop, I want to work for you. I have had a regular baby-sitting job for a year now. I am trustworthy and reliable, but I can sometimes be a little impatient and moody.
I’m free to start work from July. I finish my exams at the end of May but I’m planning to go on holiday in June. I can’t wait to hear from you.
Yours sincerely,
Andrea Leary
- b) Read again and find the inappropriate parts. Re-write the letter so that it is more appropriate.
- Too informal and irrelevant details
Mentioning buying the newspaper while walking her dog and details about her sister are unnecessary and unprofessional.
- Focus on appearance
Saying she is tall and has long curly hair is irrelevant for the job position.
- Negative self-description
Mentioning that she can be impatient and moody is inappropriate in a job application.
- Unclear availability
Saying she can start in July but will be on holiday in June is confusing and could be better explained.
- Informal language and short forms
I’m, got, can’t wait
