To C. Hurst:
My name is Ronda Polk and I am responding to your job posting on
Career Connect.com for Assistant Director Human Resources. As my resume
will show, I have a vast amount of experience for all aspects of human
resources. I have run my own business, stream lined offices, and
interviewed masses for growing manufacturing company. I have been in
negotiations with benefits for the company. I have several years'
experience with payroll (ADP, Kronos).
My knowledge of advertising and thinking outside of the box to
recruit has been tested here in Indiana and Georgia. I have organized
several job fairs and supervisor job fairs. I have organized in my own
excel spreadsheets a tracking system from I-9's to training requirements.
Duties have included reporting to all federal and state entities such as,
affirmative action, Veterans, surveys on staffing.
I have had the privilege to construct and follow up on employee
recognition programs, annual awards program and service awards. And as
human resources functions, I have done a hundred other activities and
duties.
I am very interested in Ivy Tech Community College for a simple
reason, I spent a lot of time there working for a AAS in Business
Management, then to also receive a Associates in Business Administration
with a Human Resources certificate. It created a good foundation for me to
move onto Purdue to receive my Bachelors in OLS.
I would like to request a meeting with you to further discuss how I would
be an asset to your company and the staff thereof.
Thank you again for the consideration of me for this position.
Sincerely,
Ronda Polk
