Sales assistant cover letter example

A sales assistant cover letter should be short and practical: the job, the shop work you have done with a number or two, why this store, and when you can work. Many shops apply online; paste the same paragraphs into the form if there is no letter upload.

Sales assistant cover letter example: a fictional letter from Jamal Hussain. The full text follows.

Fictional letter from Jamal Hussain, the applicant in the sales assistant cv example. Every person and employer in it is invented.

Why each paragraph is there

  1. I am applying for the Senior Sales Assistant role at Tynebridge Home. I have four years' experience in homeware and fashion retail, on the tills, the shop floor and in the stockroom, and I am a keyholder for evening closes.

    The role and the three areas of a shop you can cover.

  2. At Northgate Home Store I serve up to 150 customers a shift and get two deliveries a week priced and on the floor before opening. I also dress the seasonal window to the head office plan, and last spring I signed up more loyalty members than anyone else in the store.

    Numbers a store manager recognises, and one result.

  3. I shop at Tynebridge Home myself and like the way your displays change with the seasons; I would enjoy helping with them.

    A short, honest reason for this store.

  4. I can work weekdays, evenings and weekends, including Christmas and the January sale. My CV is attached. Thank you for your time.

    Availability, which decides retail hiring, then the CV and thanks.
