Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to apply for the position of part-time lifeguard which was advertised in the Daily Gazette on Tuesday, 3rd April.
I am in my final year at sixth form college and am considering a career as a PE teacher. I recently obtained a certificate in lifesaving and first aid, and I feel that a summer job as a lifeguard would be a useful experience for me.
Last summer, I worked as a receptionist at my local swimming pool and as a delivery person in the evenings.
I consider myself to be hard-working and enthusiastic. I am also good at working with people.
Please find enclosed a copy of my CV. I am available for an interview at your convenience. I look forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully,

I am writing to apply for the position of part-time shop assistant in your bookshop, which was advertised on your college website.
I am 16 years old and am studying for a degree in English. I enjoy reading and I am considering a career in publishing, so I feel that this job would be a useful experience for me.
Last summer, I worked in a local library, where I helped customers and organised books. I also helped at a school fair, selling books and talking to visitors.
I consider myself to be friendly, patient and responsible. I am also good at working with the public.
Please find enclosed a copy of my CV. I am available for an interview in the evenings. I look forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully,
