I would really appreciate being chosen for this. It would benefit me in the future, and I have experience in dealing with customers.

I am a fourth year student at the University of Edinburgh and I will be graduating in June. I am looking for summer work and would love to be involved in the Summer Olympics.

I have been heavily involved with event organising and promoting during my undergraduate degree: including being in charge of a large group of volunteers at the Meadows Marthon and helping to organise a national university dance competition.

For both these events I dedicated a lot of time to enthusiastically promoting them and encouraging people to take part. I am energetic, motivated and certainly have the stamina to keep up with the Olympics!

Hello my name is Kevin Tietie I’m currently studying at Palmers Sixth Form College, on my spare time I'm committed to do a part time job and I’m interested in becoming a team member because this will give me memorable experience being part of one of the greatest events in the world. I will be interested in working flexible hours if needed but since the London 2012 begins the end of July that’s when I will be available for full time work because my college breaks up for summer half term. I have been currently looking at the content of London Olympic 2012 on the website for the past 3 days to get insight of the event also concentrating on the job role therefore I will be aware of my duties. Also I’m aware this is national event so I will be committed with my role.

You're faithfully
Kevin Tietie
