Subject: Application for the optician position
Dear Mr Bochatay,
Your optician’s shop is looking for an optician for advice and workshop work. I have practised for five years and enjoy advising in the shop as much as fitting lenses into frames.
With a federal certificate as an optician, I work at Optique du Centre, carrying out basic refraction, advising customers on frames and varifocal lenses, fitting contact lenses and edging lenses in the workshop. I also manage our collection of Swiss-made frames.
Your choice of independent designers and the role you give optometry match my wish to progress.
I am available from 1 April, Saturdays included. I would be glad to meet you.
Kind regards,
Justine Michellod
