Ms. Sandra Sutterfield
Happy Paws Pet Store and Grooming
901 First Street
Tyler, TX 75701
Dear Ms. Sutterfield,
(1) I am writing this letter to apply for the part-time position of pet groomer trainee. (2) As a lifelong animal lover and owner of many pets, I was thrilled to see your job posting in our community newsletter. (3) The ad said that you are looking for a responsible individual this person has pet care experience, excellent communication skills, and great compassion for animals. (4) I am confident that my work history, personality, and love for animals will make me a great fit for this position.
(5) I have spent most of my 16 years devoted to animals. (6) My family has owned 8 dogs, 6 cats, and 4 rodents, in every case, I have been the primary caretaker. (7) My parents watched me care for our family pets and then encouraged me to offer my services to other families. (8) Two summers ago I advertised on our neighborhood website and immediately began responding to calls. (9) I do more than just feed my neighbors' animals. (10) For a great hourly price, I train, walk, and play with the pets. (11) I also bathe, brush, and trim nails when requested. (12) I am proud to say that I have now cared for the pets of more than 60 families in the Granite Oaks neighborhood. (13) I am happy to provide references upon request.
(14) I know that Happy Paws Pet Store and Grooming are passionate about having satisfied customers. (15) I am confident that I will be able to communicate my experience and proficiency to the people who enlist your services. (16) My attention to detail will assure them that I care and that they can trust me with their pets. (17) I have always admired the way that their television commercials highlight the value you place on building relationships with owners and their pets. (18) This is exactly how I run my pet-sitting business. (19) Animals are my passion, and I work to make sure my customers know this. (20) I will do the same for your customers.
(21) I have attached my resume, and as you will see, I have maintained a stellar grade point average during my first few semesters of high school. (22) Furthermore, I serve as secretary of the sophomore class, and I volunteer weekly at our local Humane Society. (23) I have organized my schedule to accommodate a part-time job and have availability to work from 2:00 ᴘ.ᴍ. until closing on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. (24) I am also happy to work weekend shifts and additional hours in the summer.
(25) I hope to have an opportunity to discuss this position with you in person. (26) Please let me know if there is a time when I can come by for a formal interview. (27) I believe I would be a great asset to your pet store with my energetic attitude, contagious passion, and related experience. (28) I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Ruby Yancy
