Dear Whole Foods Recruiting Team,

Whole Foods Market wants to hire people who have interests and values that align with their corporate philosophy. You should have a passion for organic and natural foods, and feel that working there would have a positive impact on your community. You should also keep in mind that the company places a huge value on customer service, so you should always do your best to emphasize the skills and experience that you have in that area.

I heard you were looking for an enthusiastic, self-directed, creative, motivated team player

focused, results-oriented, strong work ethic, problem-solving skills, positive attitude, believe that having fun is contagious and as a customer I know it relaxes me, makes me want to linger longer, not afraid to ask questions, don't feel rushed or intimidated. I want to work in a culture that fosters that attractiveness and genuine enthusiasm in every person's shopping experience.

Whole Foods Market attracts people who are passionateabout great food, about the communities they live in, about how we treat our planet and our fellow humansand who want to bring their passion into the workplace and make a difference..And I imagine you are really tired of reading boring cover letters.I've heard what you are looking for,so, here's how I've prepared for this moment with you:

Will you need more out of me than what's in the job description?I'm capable of anything. Watch me do it better than you expected.Give me a list of things that need to be done in an hour. I'll make it happen.You need someone with a flexible schedule:Note: I love early mornings the most.

Additional note: I'm also a true night owl.

If you figured it out, I'd rather work than sleep-in.

I'll stay as long as needed until the team says we completed every goal for the day. Creative quality is something very dear to me and my passion shows up in everything I do;
