As you will see from my enclosed resume, my work experience has helped me

develop an ability to deal with the public, a valuable asset for a travel agency.

Not only as a sales assistant, but even as a stock clerk, I have lerned to be

customer oriented; I have found that courtesy and a smile keep business flowing

smootlly.

I would like very much, Miss Ericastilla, to put my skills to word for your travel

agency. I am available for an interview at your convenience. You can reach me at

Yours very truly,

The resume is sometimes called a data sheet or vita.

It is an “outline” of all you have to offer a new employer;

therefore, it presents your qualifications, background, and

experiences in a way that will convince a business person to grant

you and interview.

Also it is the first impression you make on an employer.

It promotes those traits you want the employer to know you

possess; in addition, for that reason it must look professional.

It should be cour teous and brief.

It should tnak the employer fo r the interview and restate your

interest in the job.

A reference to a successful moment at the interview is agood,

personalizing touch.

Few people nowadays send this type of letter, for this reason

alone, it can be highly effective.

Dear Miss Ericastilla:

Thank you for allowing me to discuss my travel qualifications in person.

Having met you and Mrs. DeLoia, and seen your agency in operation, I sincerely

hope I will have the chance to put my training to work for you.

The difference between letter of reference and

recommendation is slim. A recommendation (next page) is

an endorsment while a reference is simply a repor t.

This letter gives verifices facts.

or of the applicant’s general qualifications.

employee.

Sincerely yours,

This letter should include:

A statement of the letter’s purpose.

An account of the duties performed by the applicant of of the applicant’s general qualification.

A concluding statement specifically recommending the applicant for the par ticular position.

This is a persuasive type of letter.

class performance as well as written work. His assignments werw always executed

with conscientiousness and punctuality. Moreover, he was an enthusiastic

participatn in class discussions and helped to make the couses rewarding

experiences for everyone else involved.

Therefore, I can recommend Mr. Stevens without hesitation, for the position of

assistant in your travel agency.
