READING
Dear Sir
I am writing to apply for the post of Cinema Manager, advertised in the Evening News.
As you can see from my CV, which I have enclosed, I have worked in restaurants and bars in
my own country. I have also worked as an Assistant Manager in a cinema. I believe that I have
the experience of working in different parts of the entertainment industry. I feel that now is the
right time for me to move on to a more senior management role. I am a hard-working, well
organised person who gets on well with people and I feel these are important qualities for
someone in this job.
I am particularly interested in this job because of my educational background. You will see from
my CV that I studied Film and Media at university, where my specialism was European Cinema.
I look forward to hearing from you
Yours faithfully
Jose Ferreira
