To Whom It May Concern:
I have both my undergraduate and graduate degrees in Economics. I have a strong background in data
analysis, first in healthcare, then in energy management. I have been working in Sales since November
2012 and enjoying it.
I have a strong work ethic and enjoy working with others. I have excellent customer service skills
whether creating and presenting reports or selling products and services. I enjoy meeting customers’
needs. I worked my way up in both of these long term positions and am a loyal employee who will do
whatever it takes to help the company I am working for and those within it succeed. I understand the
importance of communication, of keeping things simple while knowing the detail behind the message.
My primary role in each Analyst position was acting as my own project manager from the data
collection/mining stage to analysis, reporting and presentation.
I believe the most important skills that I offer are my dedication to learning and not being afraid to ask
questions, communication with coworkers, careful attention to detail in every report, project or sale and
understanding how the I can excel in my position to benefit the company.
I would appreciate it if we could set up a time and place to talk about how I could benefit your company
with my skills. Please contact me by phone at 540-***-****.
Thanking you in advance for your consideration,
Ashley Anderson
