Dear Mr.Doucette

I am writing to enquire about employment opportunities in the sales division of IBM Canada. As a graduate of the Business Computer Studies program at Seneca College and an IBM-PC owner, I can offer your company a thorough knowledge of IBM products and their business applications. In addition, I have completed courses in marketing and personal sales.

As you can see from the enclosed resume, I have financed my college education by working part-time at Gentlemen's Tailors. While this experience gave me the chance to apply knowledge acquired through college courses, the most important thing I learned at Gentlemen's Tailors is I CAN SELL.

I believe that my education and sales ability would be an asset to your company and I would appreciate an opportunity to discuss this personally with you in an interview. I am available any weekday before 2 p.m.

Sincerely

James Gatt

Dear Mr. Delaney

Your advertisement in last Friday's Globe and Mail calls for an experienced computer professional with a strong background in business and industrial applications; this description matches my qualifications. As a computer system planner, I could serve you and your clients well.

I have four years experience in computer systems development. Holding increasingly responsible positions, I have worked on both commercial and engineering applications, I am equally proficient at home calculating cost of sales, solving complex equations, and scheduling industrial processes.

In each of my positions, I have learned how the business functioned so that I could talk to the users in their own terms. This knowledge allowed me to understand and contribute to discussions at development meetings and to produce clear proposals with realistic examples.

When you have had an opportunity to review my resume, I would appreciate an interview to discuss my qualifications with you. You can phone me at 922-6804, during office hours to arrange an appointment.

Sincerely

You mentioned during the interview that Able is interested in individuals who can assume responsibility. Both my work experience (where I trained new employees and replaced the manager when she was out of town) and my extracurricula activities (where I had leadership positions in three different campus groups) show the kind of responsible experiences you might be seeking in an applicant.

If you wish to discuss any questions about my qualifications for the manager trainee position, please call me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely

April 14,20_

Chaired by: Vincent L. Hamm

Present: John David Patty Lidstrom Anne Eulan Ray Meredith Oscar Fields Helen Prescott

Absent: Phil Andrews Mary Hallock

 

The Minutes of the last Meeting were read and approved. Matters arising from the Minutes: None.

The primary question discussed was whether or not Lovejoy Corporation should encourage company — sponsored recreational activities for employees during the summer.

Mr.Field stated that he believes most people are too busy during the summer months to participate in company recreational activities. Many belong to local softball leagues, sailing groups, and so on. Others would rather be with their families. He believes we should abandon the recreation program for the summer.

Mr. David said that the Travel Club will probably prefer to remain active through the summer. They have several activities already planned — sightseeing tours, beach parties, and boat trips.

Mrs. Lindstrom recommended that a questionnaire be prepared and issued to each employee to find out whether an organized program of recreation is desirable this summer.

Mr. Hamm endorsed Mrs. Lindstrom's idea and appointed Andrews, Lindstrom, Meredith, and Hallock as a committee to draw up the questionnaire. After the questionnaire is approved, it will be turned over to the Personnel Department for duplicating and distribution.

Next meeting to take place; 14.05.20_
