For the last two years I have been working for Blackwell Bookshops as a sales assistant. The time I
(have?) spent there
(has?) improved my ability to deal with
customers in a polite and friendly way as well as
honing my negotiation skills.
I am now seeking to further my experience in sales, and to expand my knowledge.
How come we don't have to use the present perfect there? And, in any case, does what I wrote sound bad or unnatural?:

I am currently unemployed. Up until two weeks ago, however, I was working for Blackwell Bookshops as a sales assistant. The time I spent there (nearly two years) improved my ability to deal with customers in a polite and friendly way as well as my negotiation skills. I had to quit that job because it took me too long to get there. My boss, Mr Thomson, gave me a very good referenfce when I left. |

"The Times" is the correct way of referring to this newspaper.

What newspaper? I am referring to a newspaper called 'Times Paper'
lol (I know there isn't an newspaper with that name, but I made it up).

Generally, when citing references, this is given in the cv, not the letter of application.

Ok, I believe what you say. It's the same in Spanish and Catalan. However, my teacher said we have to add this information, so...

Are you seriously applying for this job?

Nope. Like I said, it's a 'training' exercise.
Thanks!!
