Dear__________________:

I am currently seeking a challenging new career opportunity in Retail Management and am submitting my resume for your review. In advance, thank you for your time and consideration.

As demonstrated, I launched my retail career in 2011, gaining extensive experience in operations of all departments within the big box retail sector and including building strong managerial skills as Assistant Front End Supervisor as well as Back Room and Sales Floor Trainer. In 2014 I joined the produce team of a major grocery chain, where responsibilities have ranged from collaborating in new store openings, including new staff training, through buying, inventory control, merchandising, pricing, quality assurance, shrink control/loss prevention, sales, and customer service. With a comprehensive background in all aspects of retail operations, I believe I am well-qualified to progress in my career in a management capacity.

Complementing my experience, concurrent with employment I have pursued and recently earned a BA in Business Management. I feel that my academic success while building a career illustrates my drive and ability to achieve goals, talent for balancing priorities and strong work ethic, attributes that should add value to my qualifications.

As a manager, you will find me to be a performance-driven leader and collaborative team player prepared to deliver immediate and long-term results and committed to supporting you in achieving your objectives. I am confident that I could be a valuable asset to your organization, and look forward to interviewing with you in the near future.

Sincerely,

Yyyyyy x. yyyyyy
