Dear sir/Madam
I would like to express my interest in the position of shift-assistant that was posted on Linkedin. I believe I have the capacity and capability to serve Amazon as a holder of the position. I have been working as a supervisor of supermarket attendants for a year where I gained the necessary experience and knowledge necessary to work as a shift assistant. Therefore, I believe I am better placed to help Amazon achieve its goals.
While working as a supervisor, I performed duties similar to those required of a shift assistant. They include allocating duties to staff, providing direction to juniors, and overseeing the performance of attendants. I effectively performed the duties, thus leading to success at the supermarket. During my tenure as a supervisor, the supermarket recorded the least number of customer complaints and a higher number of customer flow.
My experience at the supermarket also led to the acquisition of important skills. It improved my communication, leadership, and analytical skills. These skills are necessary for fulfilling duties as a shift assistant. They are important in organizing and allocation of labor. The skills also aid in offering proper direction to employees. Therefore, I believe that I am a suitable candidate to serve Amazon as a shift assistant.
I am looking forward to engaging you in the position and my qualifications. Please contact me through 580-578-22234 at any time. Thanks for time and consideration.
Yours sincerely,
John Joseph.
