Examples to wow an employer
An example of a cover letter section
For the last three years, I’ve been working in Tesco at the weekends and in the evenings around my academic studies. Juggling both work and studying has vastly improved my time management and organisational skills. Skills that I believe would be invaluable in a business operations role. Not only this, working in retail has given me a real appreciation for how a business works and my aim is to become a store manager where I can help make regular improvements to the business. I’ve demonstrated my interest in this by taking on extra shifts regularly and volunteering to help with other things, like community initiatives in the store and training of new store members.
My work experience isn't the only place I have picked up skills relevant to a business operations apprenticeship, however. I have been a commited team player in a local football team for the past ten years, rising from the youth into the adult team at aged 16. While this has established a natural team building skill through my time at the club, I have recently been recongised for my leadership skills too, taking on captaincy after just two years in the adult team.
