Subject: Application for the service station attendant position
Dear Sir or Madam,
Your service station in Bulle is looking for a shop attendant. I have worked in a convenience store for three years and am used to long opening hours.
At Shop Express de la Gare, I work the till, receive deliveries, stock shelves and prepare sandwiches and morning coffee. Three times a week I open and close the shop alone, including cashing up.
Your station is busy with commuters, and I enjoy that quick, regular contact with customers.
I am available from 1 February, early mornings, evenings and weekends. I would be glad to meet you.
Kind regards,
Dylan Ruffieux
