Decathlon WAGRAM 26 avenue de Wagram 75017 PARIS

Dear Ms., Mr., Currently student at EBS - European Business School in Paris, I submit my application to the salesperson position, that would allow me to gain professional experience. The dynamism, quality and vitality of Decathlon is suitable to the job of salesperson and compatible with my interests in sports. Decathlon, leader of the market was able to combine quality of the products and low prices, which has allowed more people to practice their favorite sports. Being in a business school, I acquired the skills necessary to be a sales consultant. Also I am part of the English class which allows me to be bilingual and quite at ease with the English but also french vocabulary related to the sale. Furthermore, I practiced horse riding for 11 years in competition. These years have allowed me to develop a sense of responsibility (of the horse, the equipment, my coach ...), intuition, perseverance, excellence, teamwork with other riders, the coach and of course the horse but also the reliability and punctuality. These are all interesting and important qualities to be a good salesperson and sales consultant. Besides, I taught this same discipline in a equestrian center for children aged 3 to 8 years. Moreover, this summer I have been a saleswoman for 3 monts at ETAM (lingerie and ready to wear) in Paris (17). I had to greet customers, advise them, manage different till operations (exchanges, refunds, customerdata), and keeping the store clean and organised. These experiences, my interests and motivation to learn and exchange therefore lead me to apply for the position of sales consultant. I look forward to hearing from you soon. I would be happy to attend an interview to discuss this with you in person. Sincerely yours,

Saskia JACOBS
