Dear Ms Chapman

I would like to apply for position of Operations Assistant, as advertised in ‘The Age’ on 30th August 2006.

Since leaving school in November of last year, I have successfully completed a certifi cate course in Transport (Certifi cate III in Transport and Distribution - Warehousing and Storage), at the
Kangan Batman TAFE. I am now looking for full time employment.

I have been able to complement my studies by seeking practical experience in the workplace. I have completed a round of work experience with the Whittlesea Transport Group.

I understand that Lightning Logistics is a large, successful and dynamic company with a rapidly growing profile in the Northern areas of Melbourne.

I believe that I would be able to bring a number of skills to this position. I am keen to work within the context of the company’s goals and objectives. I have the energy and the commitment to invest time and effort to further the growth of the company, and I have developed good team building skills.

Please find attached a copy of my resume and references. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my application with you at your convenience.

Yours sincerely,
