Subject: Application for position of Team Leader

Dear Mrs. Fitzgerald,

My name is Kristi Sidwell, and I write to introduce my career qualifications in response to your advertisement for a qualified Team Leader for your company. I am very eager to learn more about what you are seeking for this role, and offer my qualifications as listed in this cover letter and resume.

You will find in this resume that I worked as a Team Leader for the past five years at Stepan Company, in charge of motivating and overseeing a regional team of 10 stores and over 250 seasonal and full time employees. I have many achievements to offer such as a profit increase each quarter of at least 30% overall, and up to 70% in some of the team’s stores. I pride myself on being in constant communication with stores to positively enhance their profit structures with my mentorship and market knowledge. I am highly motivated, love communicating with many people per day, and can motivate any store to do better-without fail. After careful research of your company’s products and services, I have found that your company, a leader in the same industry of Women’s Fashion, is the perfect match for my goals and my experience.

Please contact me after you have read this cover letter and resume.

Yours Sincerely,

(Signature hand written in blue pen ink)

Kristi Sidwell
