I am replying to your request with hopes of securing such a position.
Currently I am a Grade 11 student at North Shore Secondary School. I am a person who is responsible and extremely friendly, and feels comfortable around other people. Not only do I have an eagerness for new experiences, but I am also interested in the sales and marketing field as a career. I have completed one hundred hours work experience training at The Bay, Vancouver, where I handled the cash, customers, and replaced inventory forchildren’swear,men’swear,andsportinggoods. Iparticularlyenjoyedhelping customers find the items that best suited them.
My extra curricular activities include being involved in various drama productions, sports, such as soccer baseball and I hold a leadership role in the school’s snowboarding and skiing club. I have volunteered at the school store; where we buy and sell merchandise including sportswear, school supplies and refreshments. I am familiar with all the business and marketing aspects of this small, but profitable store.
As a regular customer of The Gap, I believe I would be an excellent sales associate and would appreciate having an interview at your earliest convenience. I am available to work weeknights and weekends. You may reach me for an interview at 604-988-8888.

Introduction
What is an Employability Skills Profile?
An Employability Skills Profile is a carefully organized selection of documents, artifacts or materials called EVIDENCE that highlight your skills, abilities, knowledge and talents. It is a self-marketing tool that you can use in today’s competitive employment and educationmarket. It will help you to begin a process of self-discovery and reflections, and to identifyand demonstrate proof of your skills, abilities, knowledge and attitudes. During this processyou will discover that the skills you have been developing through your home, school, community, work, play, and life in general, relate directly to skills that are marketable inthe world of work.
Why should I develop a profile?
To market myself when applying for employment,
post secondary, scholarships, volunteer
positions, etc.
To have a current inventory or summary of my skills,
abilities and accomplishments
To receive recognition for things I’ve done at
home, in school, at work and in the community
To have the most current information ready for job,volunteerandpostsecondary applications
To help me identify what I need to work on
in order to succeed and realize my dreams
To identify the fields I am suited for in order to make career decisions now and in the future
To organize my
thoughts and celebrate my accomplishments
To look inward and reflect
on my strengths, values, interests and skills and better understand who I am and what I am
capable of

Section 2 - Employability Skills
Employability skills are those personal skills, behaviours and attitudes seen as essential for success both personally and in the world of work. You must be able to identify the skills that make you unique and employable. In this section, you will provide examples of evidence supporting the employability skills you possess. Use the list of employability skills on pages 8, 9, 10 andtheEmployabilitySkills2000+documentonpage16-18toidentifyandhelpyoudescribe the skills that you wish to showcase. There are 3 categories:
Fundamental Skills: skillsessentialtodothejob Personal Management Skills: skills that enable you to excel Teamwork Skills: skills that help you work well with others
How to Proceed:
1. Lookatthelistsonpages8,9,10andtheEmployabilitySkills2000+documentonpage 16-18 and identify the skills you think you presently possess. Ask yourself: “How could I show that I have this skill?”
2. Gather together evidence that is RELEVANT, RECENT(i.e.fromGrade10onward),andthat BEST REPRESENTS your skills, talents and abilities.
3. Think about the skills you used when you participated in each activity. It’s quite possible that one piece of evidence may demonstrate several skills. Be sure to describe all of the skills demonstrated by each piece of evidence.
4. Remember to mention the skills you have developed at your work experience placements,parttimejoborvolunteerwork.
5. Think about all aspects of your lifestyle, interests, and personality. Consider your athletic, creative, academic, and technical skills as employers are looking for “well rounded” individuals.
6. Each piece of evidence that you include must be accompanied by a template that includes:
~ a brief description of what you did~ theemployabilityskill(s)involved.Identifythetypeofskilldemonstrated:
fundamental, personal management or teamwork ~ adescriptionofhowthesampledemonstratestheskill(s)
~ where appropriate, the relevancy of those skills to your career plan. You should attach a tag or template to the front of each piece of evidence. The template is the most important part of this entire process so do not omit it if you expect to get a good mark on this profile. See the information on pages 16-18.
“One of the most critical skills students need to develop is the ability to identify and communicate the skills they possess”
