LETTER 3-3: RESUME COVER LETTER—TRAVEL AGENT—WORKFORCE RETURN

Ms. Presently Hiring
The Successful Travel Agency RE: January 1 City Times Ad
P.O. Box 1111 for a Travel Agent
Business City, ST 09876
Dear Ms. Hiring:

I am responding to your ad because it offers the opportunity to act on a
very firm conviction: that every business is a service business, and to
succeed, must address the distinct needs of each and every customer.
The ability to deliver high-quality, responsive service is
vital in the travel industry, and that’s exactly what you’ll
get when you hire me.
My resume, which is enclosed, details my background. Although I have
been out of the workforce for several years, I have hardly been idle. As a
hospital volunteer, President of the PTA, wife and partner of a Senior
Vice President, and mother, I have dealt with a wide variety of people
from the pleasant senior citizen to the screaming child to the irate
executive. In every case, I assess the individual’s needs and how to
address them most effectively.
As a very active consumer, I am well aware of the importance of
prompt, attentive service -- and painfully aware that it is rare these days.
If you’re looking for a hard worker and quick learner to provide
superior service and promote customer satisfaction, you’ve found her.
I hope you’ll give me call at (555) 456-7890 so that we can meet.
Thank you for this opportunity to discuss my qualifications.
Sincerely,

33
