Store Manager
Goodwill Thrift Store
1844 North Broadway
Santa Maria, CA 93454
Dear Hiring Manager,
My name is Jim Eligino, and I am a third-year college student at Allan Hancock Community College. I am applying for a customer service position for the Goodwill Thrift Store. I believe my high-school diploma and including some college education would provide an ideal experience for this position.
As of recently, the majority of my experience comes from the Customer Service training I have attended, where I learned how to research and observe the products on sale, how to listen to customers' feedback, educate them about said products, and provide solutions for their complaints. After taking an exam, I have earned a certificate in Customer Service and Sales from the National Retail Federation Foundation. As proof of leadership and teamwork, I have been elected a member of the Associated Student Body in both El Camino Junior High School and Pioneer Valley High School, as well as participated in the latter's track-and-field team and contributed to their Campus Clean-up event. In addition, I assisted in setting up the Elwin Mussel Senior Center's Halloween Dance, hosted by Pioneer Valley, and interacted with the residence of the senior center.
I am interested in this position, because I wish to incorporate my newly-learned skills in customer service to good use. I have a positive personality, and am willing to work hard and with others.
Please see the enclosed resume, and if at all possible, I would like to meet in person to further discuss my skills and qualifications. I would like to thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Jim Eligino
