Job application cover letter help?

Question

I'm wanting to write a letter along with my resume to florists in my town asking them to let me do a traineeship with them for 12 months to learn how to be a florist? Can anyone help me with a link to go to or any ideas? These jobs are not advertised so I'm asking them to amke a space for me. How?

Answer 1

Letter of intention takes higher credit in front of business owners. A person who has started and managed their business usually does not look for employee-pets but for creative and energetic people with fresh ideas and enthusiasm. If you show them one day you can be the proud owner of a big flowers chain... who knows.

I’m in business far away from flowers, but here is a general idea of what I will write.
Hope to be of help for you.

Dear FlowerStore Owner,

Your store BeautifulRose is just a few blocks away from the place where I live. Every time I pass by I notice the shiny windows and beautiful colours of your store. /letter starts with some flattering words about their business/

My name is Mrs H 2b! and I would love to participate in arrangement and maintenance activities in your store for a couple of days. Flowers are my passion and I really enjoy catering little bonsais and bamboo sticks as well as small cute vases and other things. /the second paragraph is straight to the point of the letter. It shows what you ask them. Couple of days sounds much less than 12 months, but as they say the most difficult thing is to put your leg in the door /

Below is a list of the things that I can do for the good of FlowerStore:
.
.
/here you use your imagination and passion about what you really like to do. It could be: taking care of the flowers, cleaning the floor or in more advanced level working with clients, giving them advice on flower selection, etc.. you see, that’s the part where you have to use your imagination to show them the benefit that they will have…/

Flowerly yours,
H 2b!


btw, can you just enter the store and get into a conversation. sometimes the best things happen just spontaneously.


good luck

Writing application letter: There are some general rules you should follow when applying for a job and writing application letter, if you follow them you may find yourself in a new job sooner than you think: 1- Research and investigation: try to read between the lines and get a feeling about the person who wrote the ad and the company way of thinking. 2- Language and style: your letter serve only one purpose: to get you invited for a job interview, hence, avoid hackneyed phrases and cliches. you language should be alive and vivid and should attract the reader's attention, spelling mistakes and grammatical or syntax errors and cardinal sins and will almost certainly cause your application to end up in the rubbish bin. 3- Presentation: Give your application a nice look, use only top quality paper, print it out on a laser printer or good quality inkjet, be conservative with colours, when you mail it don't fold it or staple it. 4- Follow up: when you send your job application to a prospective employer, make a note in your diary and keep photocopies of all correspondence, after a week or so, telephone the employer just to confirm that they received your application. 5- The method: there are few basic methods you can use to get your application into the hand of a prospective employer,, E-mail, Fax or by normal mail. Remember, applying foe a job is like a seduction. Would you fax a love poem to your sweetheart, or would you present it in person? so I suggest to take it by hand, if delivering you application in person is not practical or would be too expensive, consider using a courier service. All the best, I hope you get the job.

The cover letter is usually used to hilite some of the qualities/qualifications from your resume. Have you done any schooling in this field? What is it about florist work that appeals to you? Have you done floral arrangements in your own home? For friends, family, etc.? In your cover letter, please note your interest in this field, and any experience you have had, etc., and let them know that if they could offer you a traineeship for 12 months with them, and the enthusiasm you feel towards this field, you would greatly appreciate it-and would be willing to work for their shop/company for 12 months after the training. (Or whatever length of time). Take care.

Answer 4

maybe just mention that you are willing to spend extra hours being trained on or off the clock and/or will have no problem over looking other employees for the first little while... I really don't think becoming a florist isn't really that hard...
