Dear Mr Michael

REF: Position of Tour Guide (reference CF/659560)

I am writing to apply for your recently advertised post of Tour Guide, which I saw advertised on the Findajob website. Please see my attached CV, which sets out my skills and experience.

I have 12 years experience in retail, including 6 years as a product demonstrator. I provided live demonstrations to customers of food processors and other kitchen equipment for a department store. On one occasion, I increased the sales of an unpopular product by over 150 per cent by showing it to customers using my warm and friendly personality and detailed product knowledge.

I have excellent customer service skills, as demonstrated by my promotion from on-floor sales work to demonstrating products. I have since developed excellent training and presentation skills. Other skills include cash handling, planning and organising.

I recently took a break from work to raise my children, but feel that I am now ready to resume my career and focus on returning to the workplace.

I am confident that I have the skills, qualities and experience to become a valuable part of your team.

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

Yours sincerely

Morgan Jones
