To whom it may concern,

 

 

I would like to apply for a job in your company. In Canada, the country where I come from, I used to be an optician. Even if the vocational training I had is different from the one required in your country, I think I can be an excellent seller. Moreover, with my knowledge of optics, I can be very useful to you and your clients.

 

I have experience in taking measurements of both contact lenses and ophthalmic lenses. I also know how to cut and fit lenses, and how to deliver contact lenses, but selling and counselling is what I do best. Besides, I have had to manage an optician office for three years.

 

I am an enthusiastic person having a great sense of responsibilities, and I like challenge. Any kind of job would please me, and it would allow me to enhance my knowledge of English. Regarding written proofs and references of any kind, I am committing myself to give it to you on request.

 

Sincerely yours,

 

 

Caroline Courtemanche
