Dear department manager: It is with great interest that I am applying to the retail sales associate position with Macys, which was posted in the monster jobs website. I look forward to working with Macys and applying my experience and skills to make a significant contribution towards the efficiency of the mens department. Having worked for Whataburger, I am able to communicate effectively with costumers and have a vast amount of customer service experience. My duties as a team member in Whataburger included operating the drive-through window and sales register. I worked as a team player in a fast-paced environment. Being a native Spanish speaker, I am able to communicate fluently in both English and Spanish. In addition to my customer service and communication skills, my sales register and team player experience will increase the efficiency of the department. I am confident that my experience and skills will be of a positive contribution to the mens department at Macys. I look forward to a meeting with you in order to further discuss my qualifications. If you need additional information, please contact me at (915) 857-9658 or csamano@miners.utep.edu.
