Summary

Dear Ann-marie and Liz,


I was excited to see your recent advertisement for a Part-Time/Casual, as creative design really lights me up, and providing friendly and fun customer experiences is something that truly brings me joy.


Found is one of my favourite stores to visit. I appreciate the wonderful wares that you both offer and wear with your own unique style, and I particularly like the Le Bon Shoppe socks for myself. I also I admire the warm and genuine environment you have both created. Found inspires me with a desire to contribute to and learn from all that you do.


I am friendly, reliable and committed to ensuring everyone feels welcome and more than happy with their experience with me. My last role allowed me to developed excellent communication and customer service skills to provide this. Combined my passion for creative design and having fun with fashion, I believe I would make a great team member.


After working in manufacturing and IT for the last 18 years, I am exploring my creative side and would love to meet in person to learn more about this role and better share what I can offer. Thank you for considering my application and I look forward to hearing from you soon.


Best regards,

Austin
