I'd use a template.
I take it you are going to be a courtesy clerk, I doubt it will be that hard.

yeah bro, focus more on yourself and your values. Like people said get a template, that'd be annoying to read.

Plus, its Safeway, not a welding facility. Do they weld there? No. Pretty sure that's irrelevant.

seriously?! fuck man. you need to go into detail about the values you have that would help you at this job. not skiing.

get a template, and try and sound a bit more...educated?
