Dear Recruiter/Hiring Manager:
I would formally like to thank you for the support of my candidacy for the Human Resources Manager
Position.
As a Management Associate for MGM Resorts International, I have supported over 60,000 employees in
regards to Compensation and Benefits. I am not just seeking a job; I am seeking an opportunity where I can
become a valued member of an organizational family within an organization.
I am increasingly aware of the challenges, barriers, and complexities that many employers are facing
surrounding the issue of building bench strength with new ‘top talent’ or even replacing human asset loses from
attrition. I have the education and experience in other industries as a Human Resources Manager and all the
functions that come with running smaller HR Departments.
I know I can make a difference in your company as a Human Resources Manager through variables
such as acknowledging privileged environmental relationships, and the ability to assist organizational
achievement along with being employed where my contribution, performance, and efforts would be recognized
and rewarded.
If given the opportunity to demonstrate my abilities to perform, I am confident my work ethic, my
understanding of an overall business environment, and my passion “to do what it takes to succeed” will more
than compensate for any short comings which you might perceive. Making a difference through leadership and
adding value are the two areas that I know that I can bring to an organization. Furthermore, I will be sitting for
the SPHR exam this December; as well as continuing my goal of finishing my Certified Compensation
Professional (CCP) courses and exams, which I know will bring added value to your team. Thank you again for
your time and consideration. I look forward to furthering the dialogue surrounding my potential employment.
Sincerely,
Nick Demus IV
