Dear Anand,
I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am excited to share with you that I will be coming to your country soon to pursue my higher studies. As I embark on this new chapter in my life, I am reaching out to seek your valuable assistance in finding a part-time job while I am studying.
I have been accepted into ABC University , where I will be pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. The program is renowned for its comprehensive curriculum and excellent faculty, and I am eager to immerse myself in a new educational environment that will broaden my knowledge and skills in the field of business.
The reason I am keen on securing a part-time job is twofold. Firstly, it will provide me with an opportunity to gain practical work experience and apply the theoretical knowledge I acquire during my studies. I believe that combining academic learning with real-world experience will enhance my understanding of the subject matter and prepare me for a successful career in the business world.
Secondly, working part-time will also help me financially during my time abroad. While I have made financial arrangements to cover my tuition and living expenses, having a part-time job will alleviate any potential financial burden and allow me to fully immerse myself in the student experience without unnecessary financial constraints.
Considering your extensive network and familiarity with the local job market, I kindly request your assistance in finding a suitable part-time job opportunity. Your insights and connections can be invaluable in identifying job openings that align with my skills, schedule, and interests. If possible, I would greatly appreciate it if you could introduce me to potential employers or provide recommendations based on your knowledge of the local businesses and their hiring practices.
Additionally, any advice or guidance you can offer on writing resumes, preparing for interviews, or navigating the local work culture would be greatly appreciated. Your support and guidance will go a long way in helping me successfully secure a part-time job that complements my studies.
Thank you for considering my request, and I look forward to your response. I am excited about the prospect of studying in your country and creating new memories together. Your assistance in finding a part-time job will not only be a great help to me but also an opportunity for us to strengthen our friendship.
Wishing you all the best and looking forward to seeing you soon.
Warm regards,
Karamjeet
