The Trading Game-Letters of Application

Hi Grade 5,
Tonight you need to write a 'letter of application' for the job that you would like at Big Buy. Please keep reading to see an example of what your letter might look like. Remember to include your experience, your education and profiles, skills and attitudes that you can bring to the job!

Dear Big Buy

I would like to apply for the position of a Production Manager at your company Big Buy. I feel that I would be a desirable candidate for the position.

I have excellent communication skills. I have experience presenting in Town Meetings and I am able to speak loudly and clearly in front of others. I always finish my homework on time, which shows a lot of commitment. I am also a good leader. I helped my group to finish our science experiment during our 'How the World Works' unit of inquiry.

I have attended 2 different schools. I am able to make new friends and I am open-minded to others. I think I can work well with others.

Sincerely,
Suzie Smith

Dear Big Buy,
I would like to apply for the position of accountant with your company. I think I would do a good job in this role.

I am confident working with numbers. I enjoy math at school and I am committed to learning more about this subject.

I am organized and able to keep my work in one place. My cubby and tray are neat and tidy.

Thank you for considering me.

Sincerley,
Suzie Smith
