Dear Mr. Johnson,
I’m a highly motivated candidate
to take the island caretaker job in Australia that is being promoted by your
domain. I think I have the skills to carry out the responsibilities you
mentioned in your website.
First, I have already had some outdoor
jobs in my country giving me the work experience you are looking for this job.
Also I have worked with many projects that are addressed to protect natural
resources in my country. In these jobs, I have traveled to remote areas where I
have learned to adapt to difficult living situations. Finally, I am also good
at taking pictures. I am a photographer who loves working with nature, even
when I know it is not easy.
In addition, I consider myself a
quick learner. I have never written a blog, but I could learn how to do it. I
am also a responsible and easygoing person. Last year I worked as a supervisor in
a clothes store and I got the best employee award. I also value teamwork and I
have the quality to work with others. Most importantly, I am a very curious
person who tries to search adventure in daily life.
Thank
you very much for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Samantha Strong
