Sample cover letter for Full Time position at New Look

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing in response to your vacancy for a Retail Assistant at New Look as advertised in the News yesterday.

The position matches my career interests and is extremely compatible with my skills and my experience of working in a challenging and fast moving retail environment. As you will see from my enclosed CV I have wide-ranging and appropriate sales experience in customer interaction, up selling, assisting customers with product selection and excellent communication and negotiating skills.

With my current employer my achievements include introducing new product lines, increasing sales by over 20% and training new staff in customer service techniques. I particularly enjoy working in retail fashion as I believe I have a good eye for spotting top selling items and pointing out different styles that suit different customers. I have cash handling experience and have worked both front and back ends of an EPOS system.

I hope that on consideration of my CV, you will be persuaded of my potential to perform well and to make a real contribution to your outlet. I am available for interview at any time and I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

Yours sincerely,
