Dear Mrs. Donna Schabe,
I wish to apply for the two week December winter camp, as a camp counsellor, that was
advertised on the bulletin board of the Flemington Park Community Centre on September 15th,
2009. I was excited by the position description and impressed that you are advertising early. I
felt this was my idea of the perfect summer job - being outside, working with young people, and
playing sports. To be a summer sports counsellor has been a goal of mine for quite a while.
While this is my first attempt at paid employment, I think you will find that I have many of the
skills you are seeking threw my school environment and extra-curricular activities. I have
completed my level one instructors certification for tennis, but have played many different
sports for my school. At Marc Garneau Collegiate, I have been on the schools soccer team,
badminton team and tennis team. I enjoy volleyball and ultimate Frisbee as well. In preparation
for becoming a counsellor I took the St. Johns First Aid Certificate last year and completed a
leadership course with my local community centre. I enjoy working with young people as
evidenced by my volunteer experience at the Flemington Park Library and as a volunteer
coaching assistant with an after school program for soccer.
Ive been told that I outgoing and make people feel comfortable and included. Thank you for
taking my resume into consideration and I hope I will have the opportunity to discuss my
attached resume with you in greater detail during an interview.
Sincerely,

Ali,Shifa
