Surrey

Summary

Dear Hiring Manager,


My name is Desmond Rafter, and I am looking for a part-time or full-time position. My goal is to build my hands-on work experience and knowledge of the retail sector.


I will make an amazing member of your team. While working at Purdy’s Chocolatier at Willowbrook Shopping Centre, I gained important work experience. I developed skills such as teamwork, stock management, working in a fast-paced environment, and helping customers. Also, through volunteer work, I have gained experience helping those in need. Both experiences have taught me how to effectively communicate and work with different groups of people. Additionally, I want to continue growing in a workplace that allows for independence, but also encourages teamwork. I am eager to continue developing my communication skills by providing excellent customer service. As of now I currently work at Tap & Barrel, but I am seeking out other opportunities.


Furthermore, I am confident that I will be a valuable and reliable member of your team. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.


Sincerely,

Desmond Rafter
