Subject- Application for the post of Bookstore Manager

Dear Mr. Anthony,

I write this letter to you to apply for the post of Bookstore Manager at The Book Planet. I saw this job post in The Daily Mail, dated 15th Dec, '13.

I am in the field of store management since last 7 years. I have worked with Wal-Mart and Landmark Book Store before this and I am currently employed with Book Mart. Among the various responsibilities that I have managed till now, the ones entrusted to me during my tenure at Wal-Mart have been the most challenging so far. As a floor manager, I managed the customers and kept a tab on the goods on the entire floor. Direct reporting to the store manager and independently conducting inventory checks were two of the most important responsibilities that I managed there.

Equipped with experience of working with some of the respected brand names, I hope I will qualify as an ideal candidate for this job. The Book Planet has a global presence and working here will mean handling more challenging responsibilities on day-to-day basis. I am attaching my resume here for your consideration.

Thanking You
