Dear Hiring Manager,

I am applying for your current open position Procurement Assistant/Procurement Technician job.

As you can see on my resume attached, I have had various responsibilities within Procurement. My work experience within procurement has developed over the years. It has given me the opportunity to learn varied skills and the ability to work with many different types of people. I believe I could fit easily into your team.

I am a conscientious person who works hard and pays attention to detail. I'm flexible, quick to pick up new skills and eager to learn from others. Unfortunately, I was laid off from Chevron Mining/Questa Mine and took a position within Chevron in Pascagoula, Mississippi

.

However, I am trying to relocate back to the Denver area to be near family and willing to relocate. I realize that relocation may not be included and my salary will not be comparable to what I earn now. I am will to incur these costs and take a salary adjustment in order to be closer to family.

Respectfully,

Sandra Martinez
