Dear English 301 Students:

Please consider this application for a position on your professional writing team in the course, English 301, as advertised on the course website. I am a 4th year student studying Psychology as a major and minoring in Biology. I have excellent communication and technical writing skills, and can excel under pressure and tight deadlines. This combined with my extensive background in team management, makes me a strong candidate for one of your teams.

Working full time as a Shift Supervisor for 2 years at a high volume retail store and now currently working as an Assistant General Manager for one of the biggest fitness companies in British Columbia has given me a wealth of hands on experience and knowledge of team management. I write professional emails to colleagues and clients on a daily basis. Furthermore, I am also responsible for maintaining client profiles and information for hundreds of gym members. I am an expert in multi-tasking and, given the nature of my work I handle dozens of emails daily. Therefore, I will respond promptly to team emails.

As an Assistant Manager in the Operations wing of my gym, I understand the responsibilities of being a team player and I strive excellence in contributing to our work to yield results. I have the utmost appreciation for transparency and reliability when it comes to teamwork and promise to be present and efficient with any of our future projects.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns please do not hesitate to call me at 604-442-6856 or email me at zachary.beardsley@alumni.ubc.ca. With my extensive, team oriented work experience and proven work ethics, I firmly believe I will be a strong addition to your team. I look forward to hearing back from you and I thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Zachary Beardsley
