Dear Sir/ Madam,

This is in reference to part time employment which I am seeking for myself. I have recently completed my bachelor degree in retail management from a reputed college. I have a few months experience as an intern working for an apparel company as part of my degree.

Now, I want to take up post-graduation and work part time in the retail sector alongside my education. As I would be busy with studies, the most suitable kind of job would be to take up part time work in retail as it would provide me with valuable experience related to my course and fetch me some money as well.

I have excellent communication and marketing skills with a knack of talking to people. I also have relevant computer knowledge required in this area with a decent level of management ability as well. It would be highly appreciated if such job options could be suggested to me as soon as possible.

Yours Sincerely,

Pooja Duggal
