Dear Mr Jackson
Cover letter

Please accept my application for the position of part-time library customer services
officer, as advertised in the Orlando Tribune on 14 July 2009. I am an excellent
communicator with staff and clients alike and I believe my library experience and
enthusiasm will be an asset to R&R Libraries.
I possess a strong understanding of management, IT equipment and the day-to-day
running of a library. In my current position as library client services team leader, I have
gained an insight into the different levels of library management. I have been involved in
staff recruitment, training, customer service and ensuring the overall running of the
library is efficient and enjoyable for clients.
I am dedicated and passionate about customer and community service. Both of my
previous jobs have required a high standard of customer service skills. My qualifications
and work experience have also provided me with excellent technological skills including
proficiency with AMLIB Library Management System.
This year, I will be commencing a Bachelors of Arts degree, majoring in 16th Century
English Literature and 18th Century Spanish Poetry. This will be done part time so as I can
balance this study with work – my hours are very flexible. I have a strong passion for most
genres of literature, and I am fluent in Spanish and German, with a keen interest in works
in those languages. I am also interested in both national and international current affairs
and read the newspaper daily. I have good general knowledge and like to participate in
trivia nights.
I pride myself on my organisational and management abilities and look forward to
continuing my career in a customer service role. I hope to discuss my eligibility for the role
further with you in the future.
Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Jackson
I read with great interest your posting for a chief librarian at ABC Academy as listed on
privateschooljobs.com. I know that my years of experience as an academic librarian and
my success developing forward-thinking library projects make me an ideal candidate for
this position.
I have over ten years of experience working as an academic librarian. In my years of
experience, I have developed various techniques for best explaining and instilling research
skills in students. I have even developed and taught a well received research course for
first-year college students, which would translate well into an upper-level high-school
course.
You state in your listing that you want a chief librarian who can adapt the library to today’s
technology-driven culture. I am very comfortable with implementing e-technology in a
library setting. I even helped develop a streamlined library website at 123 Community
College, which allowed students to more easily access the college’s online resources. I
would love the opportunity to develop similar tools for ABC Academy’s library.
I am confident that my extensive experience makes me a strong candidate for chief
librarian at ABC Academy. I have enclosed my resume and other required materials for
your review. I look forward to speaking with you further about what I may offer your
school. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
