Mr. Jace Thompson,

City Staff Manager.
7324 Hamilton Street
Cornelius, OR 97113

Dear Mr. Thompson

I recently saw an ad in the local newspaper about a job opening you have for city park
supervisor at city park. Please consider me an applicant for that position.
During my 3-year tenure at local mini market, I was responsible for managing over 12
employees. I supervised opening and closing, addressed customer and employee concerns and
approved time sheets and paid time off. I used a professional but approachable demeanor with
my employees. I believe that developing a strong relationship with employees makes them
more productive and responsible.
My professional skills are rooted in my education from Widyatama Univers ity. I studied
Business Management and studied many topics relevant to business and management. I find it
very rewarding to be a major player in the success of a company and the success of the
employees I am supervising.
 Thank you for taking the time to review my application. I look forward to learning more
about city park. I am confident that my education and experience will prove me successful as
the Supervisor at City park. You may reach me at (123) 1234-5678.

Sincerely,

Annisa Octavianty
