I am looking for an opportunity for advancement with a new employer. My background is in retail management and I fell well qualified for the Store Manager position in the Bailey’s West location you advertised on your web site. I would like to be considered as an applicant for the position. The primary advantage I would have as a manager is my heavy educational background. Among the courses I have taken are consumer behavior, retailing, marketing, public relations, and advertising. I am sure you realize the many ways in which these courses can prepare one for a career in sales management.
In addition to my classes, my educational background includes work in the university bookstore, service on the school yearbook, and president of my fraternity. I will be receiving my degree on May 5, 2004. I will appreciate you studying the résumé which you will find inclosed. If you can use an energetic young man with my educational background as I hope, will you grant me an interview.
