I've applied, feedback on my covering letter would be appreciated.



Dear Ebenezer

I read with interest your advertisement for what sounds like a truly unique opportunity.

Attractive hours, excellent pay and a whole day off every three weeks. Seriously, where do I sign?

I know I may be being presumptuous, but what with it being the season and all, may I ask if there is any form of Christmas bonus? An extra lump of coal always puts a smile on Mrs C's face.

Yours

Bob

Quite.

After doing your 60 hours as a
'sales executive' you get to wander around Aldi in awe of those stacking shelves earning double your hourly rate.

Erm, are you sure you've read that right?

I read it as one day off during the week and every 3rd weekend off.

I do agree the hours for the pay offered are shocking though. I'm too lazy to work it out but at £12k it must be below min wage?

Many sales roles exist with £0 basic salary. I was on £10k when selling cars. If you're good the basic is the least of your worries!

That is a typical car sales job.

If you are average you will earn 24-32k. But one day off per week and one weekend in three is still rubbish though.
