Oakley Vault 261055 Crossiron Blvd, Rocky View Calgary, AB, T4A 0G3 To Whom it May Concern: I am a 15-year-old individual and recently came across your ad in the newspaper. I would like to work for your company to gain work experience in a retail based environment. I would like to gain more customer service skills, and by being a retail sales associate, I believe that this will become attainable. I have had previous experience working at A&W Express in Airdrie, Alberta. I worked in both the kitchen as a cook and in the front as a customer service representative. As a kitchen member, I developed different skills including time management skills and team building skills. While working in the front, I developed customer service skills, cash handling skills, and time management skills. Time management skills included knowing when to be focused, knowing when to be efficient and fast, and knowing when to move on to another chore. Team building skills included working with other staff members and sharing jobs with other staff. Since I have these skills available to me, I believe I will be able to keep the work place efficient and a positive place to work. By having customer service skills and cash handling skills, I believe that I would be very fit for this position because I know how to properly work with customers and help them find what they are looking for. I know how to count coins, give proper change, and how to properly close a purchase, so I believe that my cash handling skills can also be a benefit. I look forward to hearing from you to schedule and interview regarding this position. Thank you for your time and consideration, Ashlyn Villas
