October 10, 2020 Saul Rodriguez HR Department 9011 SW Beaverton Hillsdale Hwy #1a Portland, OR 97225 Dear, Human Resources My name is Saul Rodriguez, and I’d describe myself as an outgoing, confident, and hardworking player of any team I’m a part of. I know how to communicate my thoughts and emotions in a respectful and professional manner with anyone, and I believe that’s incredibly important in a team environment. I’m looking to be a part of something bigger than myself, which is exactly why I’m applying for your listing. I’ve been working in retail at Target for 2+ years now, so I've interacted with a lot of people; some being kinder than others, but I believe those experiences have improved my character, as I now feel more comfortable and outgoing than I was 2 years ago. As a General Merchandise Team Member, my responsibilities include: - Assisting guests with whatever concerns they may have - Restocking items on the sales floor - Reporting to the general merchandise team leader for my shift - Cashiering - Pulling any item from the back stock room for guests - Make sure the sales floor looks clean and presentable for guests and the morning team - Train new team members - Clean up any hazards guests may encounter on the sales floor - Debriefing team leaders on what tasks I completed - Work with other team members to successfully take on any problems I’m planning to go for my BaS in Finance at PSU, and my expected graduation date is spring of 2023, but this could be shortened. Afterwards, I’d like to go for my masters, but before I can do that, I’d like to get some experience in the real world and make some genuine connections. I don’t have much experience in the finance/accounting industry, but they’re both something that certainly interests me. I hope you get to reading this cover letter, and I’d really love the opportunity to meet with you in person. The best email to get a hold of me is saul5@pdx.edu, or you can call/text my cell at 971-901-8543. Thank you for your time. Best regards, Saul R.
