Peter Jones
Assistant Manager
Little City Pizza

Yourtown, TN 377021
Dear Mr. Jones:
I am writing to apply for your Little City Pizza Assistant Manager position that you advertised in our local
newspaper, The Yourtown Journal. I believe I would be a good addition as an assistant manager of your
Little City Pizza team.
Please accept this letter and accompanying resume as evidence of my interest in applying for your
assistant manager position. I feel my qualifications and my skills would prove to be an asset for your
business.
I will graduate from Winters Mill High School this June 2014. Now, I am looking for a job that will add
experience to further develop my career aspirations, which is to own my own business. Here are some of
my key strengths that I would bring to the position. I am:

Disciplined, take responsibility for my actions and choices
An excellent communicator, communicating using verbal, non-verbal, visual, and written
techniques
Very eager and willing to learn new things
Exceptional at customer service
Great team leader, supporter, and worker
Accepting challenges is the foundation of my life experiences and something I do with confidence. You
will find me a totally committed individual with pride in being direct, spontaneous and communicative. I
can maintain records, perform numerical calculations with accuracy and I need little direction to complete
assigned tasks. I believe these are the qualities that make an excellent candidate for your assistant
manager position.
I am a proven high school Army JROTC Program leader. I am responsible for leading, staffing, handling
and organizing various important activities in my school Army JROTC Program. I have a working
knowledge of MSWord, MSPowerPoint, MSExcel and the Internet.
I would appreciate your consideration of my resume. If you do think there is a shared interest, I would
greet the opportunity to meet with you in person to interview for your assistant management position,
learn about the requirements of the position, and how my skills would be a good fit.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Recommendation for John D. Rockerfeller
To Whom it May Concern,
I highly recommend John D. Rockerfeller for (selection and appointment) to (the
assistant manager position at Little City Pizza) (a military academy) to continue his
pursuit to (own his own business upon graduation from college) (serve the nation as a
military officer).
John Rockerfeller is a hardworking and talented young man, with a 3.10 grade point
average. He is Second Lieutenant in his High School JROTC program, and has
received the Superior Cadet Medal.
In addition to being an excellent Cadet, John is a member of both the basketball
team and the track and field team. He volunteers in the community, contributing over
360 service hours at Westminster community youth center and programs.
Last week I spoke to John over the phone. It is clear that he has a genuine
(business aptitude and entrepreneur mindset) (desire to serve, and presents a military
aptitude). His commitment to academic excellence, balanced with participation in high
school sports and community service, is what (we look for in future business leaders)
(we look for in military academy candidates). I have also spoken to John’s (Business
Math teacher) (Principal) (JROTC Senior Military Advisor, and Army Colonel); he (she)
could not be more laudatory about the (dedication, commitment, and work ethic)
(character and leadership role) that John Rockerfeller demonstrates among his peers
(and those that he leads).
I am highly confident that John Rockerfeller will succeed in (your Little City Pizza
business environment) (a military academy environment), and indeed be a tremendous
asset (to your team) (as a military officer in the Armed Forces of the United States).
Respectfully,
