To the Human Resources Representative:
I am writing to express interest in the Senior IT Project Manager position at Makrohealth. I discovered the employment
opportunity through the Glassdoor website. I am particularly excited about this position because it operates at the
intersection of project management and technology in a healthcare environment, a description which mirrors my own
experience.
Currently, I work as a Project Manager at Boston VA Research Institute. I gather technological and administrative
requirements to complete the entire project lifecycle. My job experience has affords me the opportunity to plan
efficiencies that impact thousands of stakeholders. By communicating with stakeholders, identifying risks, and
monitoring results I manage projects that yield quantifiable results.
While serving as BioOne Senior Account Representative, I initiated a market research endeavor to: 1. create a profile of
the current BioOne subscriber, 2. ascertain BioOne market penetration and 3. develop a targeted list of non subscribers.
Using the results of my market research, we launched several targeted marketing campaigns and initiated site visits.
My experience as a Public Presenter provided me with the opportunity to deliver over one thousand presentations to tens
of thousands of people. Because my speaking engagements were in a wide range of geographic locations, I interacted
with people from a variety of backgrounds.
Please review my resume, which you’ll find below. If you have further questions, feel free to contact me via phone or e
mail at 412-***-**** or acf8ey@r.postjobfree.com. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Jessica Hays
