EigoPro 準2級プラス読解 — A Part-Time Job Application

From: Mei Lin To: Sunrise Café Date: Saturday, June 7 Subject: Application for the weekend staff position Dear Mr. Carter, I am writing to apply for the weekend staff position at Sunrise Café, which I saw advertised on the notice board at my school. I am a second-year university student, and I am very interested in joining your team. Why I Am a Good Fit Although I have not worked in a café before, I believe I have the right qualities for the job. Last summer, I volunteered at a busy community event, where I served drinks and food to hundreds of visitors. The experience taught me how to stay calm and friendly even when things get busy. I am also a quick learner and enjoy working with people. My Availability I am available to work on both Saturdays and Sundays, from morning until early evening. During the week, I have classes, so I would not be able to work on weekdays. I understand from the advertisement that the position is for weekends only, so I hope this fits your needs. A Small Request If possible, I would prefer not to start before June 20, as I have final exams until then. However, I am happy to come in for a short interview at any time, including weekdays. I have attached my resume to this email. Please let me know if you need any other information. Thank you very much for considering my application. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Mei Lin
