Dear Yasmin Smith,
I am hoping to apply for the position of Ski Instructor which I saw Snowy Days had advertised on LinkedIn’s jobs board. However, I noticed that the advertisement was placed over a month ago now, on February 22nd. I just wondered whether the vacancy has already been filled?
Many thanks for your help. If you are still accepting applications, then I very much hope we will be in touch a lot more!
Best wishes,
Biffy Green
Dear Yasmin Smith,
I know that you are probably busy, so I will keep this brief. I am a recent Engineering graduate from Cardiff University, and I am looking for my first full-time role. I deeply admire Mrs. Smoothies as a brand and have a profound respect for your mission to make delicious and sustainably sourced drinks. I would be delighted at the chance to put the skills I have learned to use with you. Are there any work opportunities available for someone of my skill set and experience level?
I see that you have no such positions advertised at the moment, but thought it would be worth reaching out in the event that something comes up in the near future. In any case, I would love to connect with you to stay abreast of new openings at Mrs. Smoothies.
Many thanks for your time and consideration.
Yours sincerely,
George Spatula
