Link to Career: Gardener

Read the cover letter of a job seeker and answer the question.
I am writing to express my interest in the Assistant Gardener position at the Seattle Botanical Garden.
I have been gardening as a hobby for over four years and have a passion for creating fancy and flourishing gardens.
I have volunteered in many gardens in the suburbs, where I developed my expertise in planting, watering, and fertilizing over the seasons.
Last year, I acquired my Master Gardener certificate, so I have a good understanding of plant care and disease management.
I am ambitious and dedicated to my work.
I am eager to learn more about this position and your institute, and I am confident that I would be a valuable asset.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.


Sincerely,
Jason Smith
