Catherine Griffin, Personnel Director High Fashions, Inc. 300 N. Main Street Irvine, CA Dear Ms. Griffin, The fashion merchandising course I am taking in high school has fascinated me. The high quality and broad selection of clothes in your stores have always appealed to me. My best friend works at High Fashions and thinks I would be a good salesperson. May I have an interview to discuss the possibility of working for High Fashions? I look forward to the opportunity to talk with you. Sincerely, Camille Hale

KEEP Remember No matter what the job, there are more applicants than jobs. You are easily replaced. As an employee your primary job is to make your bosses life easier!

KEEP Be on time. Do your absolute best. What ever is going on at home isn’t your bosses problem! Cooperate and be polite to everyone no matter how much you don’t like them or find them annoying. Do your job independently rather than waiting to be told what to do.

KEEP Ignore office gossip. If someone is talking badly about you let it go. During meetings or gatherings give the leader/speaker your full attention. Do not multi-task. If you resign, give your employer a two week notice. You may need him as a reference some day!
