I was wondering if you guys would give me some feedback on a cover letter. I've never written one before and really want the job.

To Whom it May Concern

I recently saw that V-line was looking for trainee drivers and it's a role I feel I would excel in. My name is David Davidson and while my recent work history is in sales (cold calling) I'd much prefer something more about obeying rules for the safety of everyone involved, rather than finding grey areas for the financial interest of everyone involved.

Though my previous experience in sales may seem like I'd be more suited for something more customer focused, the fact is the customers were always the worst part of the job, as I'm sure you can imagine. While I'm sure I'd perform superbly at a job involving customers, what I excelled at was having personal drive, focus, patience, and mindfulness. These are things I feel are important, and I practice them in my personal and professional life.

Previous to sales I worked as a stockhand for K-mart in Traralgon. Though I always almost met targets while working there sometimes things would slow down in the interest of safety and proper procedure. Moving palettes of stock involves a lot of manual handling and dealing with trucks coming in and out.

I know I would make a great trainee driver, I have a personal interest in trains and enjoy playing around with 'Open Rails', a free, open-source, train simulator and am very keen to learn about driving an actual train. As a student of Monroe University I was always passionate, punctual, diligent and attentive. Even when it meant driving up to Melbourne for optional summer classes.

Warm regards,
David Davidson
