To Whom It May Concern:
(Paragraph 1: Who you are, what you are good at, what are your top five work skills?)
I am currently attending Santa Cruz High School where I will be graduating this year in June. I have enrolled in CTE classes, which are business-oriented. CTE classes have given me a closer look at the business world and I have learned excellent work skills.
My top five work skills are:
- Excellent communication skills with strong listening skills
- Responsible and reliable with attention to detail
- Strong team player who thrives in teamwork situations
- Good computer skills
- Excellent time management skills
(Paragraph 2: Long and short term goals and hobbies)
I have received special acknowledgement from my employers for strong skills and work ethics.
I recently was accepted to CalPoly and plan to go there in the Fall and pursue a degree in Agribusiness. After receiving my degree, I plan to work in my family’s strawberry farming business. Eventually, I hope to be the president of the business. I have many hobbies including surfing, skiing and playing baseball but most of all, I enjoy riding my horse up in the hills. It gives me a sense of freedom and independence.
(Paragraph 3: Work experience, technical skills, awards and honors)
My portfolio shows some of the skills and abilities I have acquired in while attending Santa Cruz High School and throughout my work experience. I have always enjoyed landscaping and have enrolled in the Horticulture class for my last semester of high school. From my past experience you will notice that I enjoy working especially when I leave the job better than it was when I first got there. I have been doing tree work for three years and have worked for commercial and residential customers. Thoroughness and safety are some of my favorite qualities.
(Paragraph 4: Refer to what is included in your Career Portfolio)
Included in this portfolio, is my resume summarizing my schooling, work experience, and skills. In addition I have a list of references, letters of recommendation, and samples of my work. I hope you enjoy reviewing my portfolio.
Sincerely,
John Star
