Resume:

Rebecca A. Walker

312-***-****

Dear Director of Hiring,

With several years as an office administrator handling the hiring process I realize the flood of resumes and

cover letters you find in your daily workload. Weeding through the many great looking resumes and cover

letters and seeking the person really has the skills and more importantly, common sense can be daunting. I

will try to keep it brief.

I moved here to the Chicago area to be closer to family and worked remotely with my former employer in the

transition to a new office manager. I have now completed the transition and am seeking employment with

your business.

I am an experienced office manager with a diverse background. Most recently (past 10 years) I was with a

Law Firm. Prior to this a Regional Insurance Office. With extensive IT skills and knowledge I have been

able to quickly learn new software programs and work through offices computer/printer issues immediately

with minimum interruption saving time and money. I work independently and lead teams to great success. I

look to work with a team of professionals who all seek to grow with a successful business and believe I can

make a positive difference.

I would be happy to discuss this opportunity with you at your earliest opportunity.

Respectfully,

Rebecca Annie Walker

P.S. I am available for immediate hire.
