Cover Letter

Dear Madam/ Sir, 


I have a diverse skillset which I believe will be beneficial to your company. With extensive experience in customer facing roles, I have proved to be a motivated retail employee who is friendly and outgoing. Building rapport with customers is something that I enjoy about my work and feel great satisfaction when I can use my product knowledge and communication skills to improve the customer's shopping experience.


Having been a Sales Executive for a high-end furniture company, I am self-motivated and have pushed to reach and succeed sales targets in this role. Always willing to learn and develop, I branched into different departments in this store. Using my creativity, I used products to visual merchandise to optimise sales. 


I have always loved fashion from a young age and would love to work in this great store.


I am currently located in Dunbar, Vancouver. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions on +1 778-223-3471 or e-mail me on mellontherese@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you. 


Kind regards, Thérèse Mellon
