Focus on keeping it real!

Use one of the example texts below, but remember to add words that better describe the person you are. The employer might read the letter before your interview, and it would be best if the description matched the person walking through the door!

NOTE: Remember that many other people (based in Cornwall) will be using these examples – so it’s important to change words or mix them up where you can!

As you will see, I have basic site experience, basic tools and my own PPE.
