Assistant Buyer Cover Letter

The cover letter is your chance to introduce yourself to the recruiter, and first impressions matter. In your opening paragraph, you should convey enthusiasm for the position, mention any mutual connections you may have, mention a belief statement to show you share in the hiring company’s values, and lead with an impressive accomplishment.

Don’t go off the rails by sharing stories that have no relevance to the job or by telling jokes. The cover letter is a short and concise single page document that needs to convince the recruiter that your candidacy deserves close attention, so make every word count.

You will participate in all activities of the purchasing department. Inform your recruiter of your readiness to complete the tasks assigned to you by mentioning your merchandising experience and discussing your decision making, negotiation, and networking skills. You must also demonstrate your business acumen in developing pricing strategies, managing logistics operations, and budgeting.

Don’t include skills that you cannot back up with your performance. If you start stretching the truth, you could end up in an embarrassing situation. The employer will ask questions to verify your skills during the interview and while checking your references. And if you do get the job, by not living up to the employers expectations based on your claims, you will be setting yourself up for failure.

Make sure the hiring manager can reach you. Include a phone number and email address that you use often. So you will be sure to receive any correspondence without delay. But if your email address is something embarrassing from a much younger time like beiberlover16, hottiwitabody69, or badboi2000 it’s time to get a new email with a professional, job appropriate name.
