To Whom It May Concern:
Please find attached my resume detailing my credentials and background in relation to the position advertised.
As the attached resume details, my retail work at Bergdorf Goodman and Margo Morrison Jewelry has given me a foundation of customer service and retail know-how that would make me a perfect candidate for the position. Additionally, my training in school psychology has given me organizational skills and the ability to multi-task, which is important for all endeavors.
I am looking to return to work after a career break to start a family and now wish to find the right job. With my experience teaching art history and my own return to school to pursue my passion for art history, I believe I would bring the advertised requirements and more to this role.
I am happy to discuss and clarify any questions you may have regarding my qualifications at your convenience. I look forward to an opportunity to meet with you.
Sincerely,
Sarah Newton
