Dear Mr Evans,
Ref: Customer Services Officer
I wish to apply for the above position, as advertised in the One Stop Shop.
I left school in July and would like to work in a customer service based apprenticeship. As I have stated in my enclosed CV, I really enjoyed working in an office environment for my school work experience and I am keen to start a career, but I would also like to gain more qualifications. Your vacancy offers both practical work experience and the chance to gain qualifications.
My school work experience at ASP Insurance involved a variety of office duties. I am already experienced at using Microsoft Office as we used many different applications at school. I gained other skills such as emailing and taking customer phone calls. As I am a friendly person, I worked well with everyone in the team. I turned up on time every day and completed all the tasks given to me. The staff at ASP Insurance were pleased with all aspects of my work and said I would be suited to an office career.
As my CV shows, I have been involved in my local youth theatre for many years. This involves team working skills as I have been involved in lots of productions, working with other actors, the director and technical crew. Attending rehearsals and learning lines in my spare time shows that I have dedication and good time management skills, as I have had to combine this with completing all my school coursework.
The Customer Services Officer vacancy sounds exactly like the role I am looking for. I look forward to hearing from you. Please contact me if you need any further information.
