Dear Ms Spencer

I am writing to apply for the position of Junior Stylist, which I saw advertised in your shop window and on Facebook.

I have recently completed a Diploma level 3 in Hair and Beauty at college. I am now eager to start work and build on my existing skills. I have experience of cutting, colouring and styling and have worked in the college’s on-site salon for 2 years. I went on placement to a local salon during my course where I further developed my skills. I also volunteer for a local charity, where, under supervision, I have cut hair for local refugees. This shows me to be hard-working and reliable and willing to go the extra mile.

I have developed good team-working, communication and cash-handling skills through my part-time work in a clothing store.

I believe that I have the skills and qualities to learn more and become a valuable part of your team. I attach my CV/application for further information.

Thank you for considering my application. I hope to hear from you soon.

Yours sincerely

Olivia Morgan
