Dear Hiring Manager,
Ipsos's field market research programme for public transport improvement aligns perfectly with my interest in community engagement and flexible working. Your requirement for face-to-face interviewing skills and full driving licence matches my background in customer-facing roles and mobile work capabilities.
My background in engaging with diverse members of the public and conducting structured conversations would translate well to approaching bus passengers and gathering their transport experiences. I am comfortable working independently and adapting to different locations across Bournemouth's bus network.
