Dear Sir/Madam, 

Apprenticeship / Entry Level Roles 

I would like to express my interest in applying for any Apprenticeship / Trainee / Entry Level roles that you may have available.

As you can see from my CV, my last year at School was during Covid, and my career path was unclear.  Whilst I have learnt a great deal and matured as a person during my first role since leaving School in landscaping, I am now really keen to move into an office environment and in particular the insurance industry as I believe it can offer a broad range of career opportunities.  I feel that I could succeed in the insurance sector’s exciting and motivated environment and that my strong work ethic and willingness to learn would make me a valuable asset to any company. 

I have the required educational qualifications including GCSE’s grades A-C grades, a level 2 at Writtle University College, and can show a willingness to continue further studies in order to position my career. 

I would be indeed very grateful to you if you could give me an opportunity to demonstrate my capabilities.

I look forward to hearing from you. 

Regards 

James
