To Whom It May Concern:

Attached resume is submitted in consideration of your present opening for Director, Total

Rewards. My career has spanned all aspects of Human Resources Management. I have been

directly responsible for benefits programs in large hospital settings, 1200-1700 employees. I

have facilitated salary surveys ensuring market comparability, wage grade analyses involving our

facilities personnel and health care benefit programs cost.

Direct compensation determinations based upon experience and qualifications have been part of

my daily responsibilities for over twenty five years.

My Master’s Degree in Human Resources Management, fifteen years as an adjunct professor and

years of practical health care setting experience involving Human Resources Management

responsibilities makes my background ideally suited for the position described. Leaving the

health care environment was necessitated to return to the North East, returning to a position

within your facility would complement my professional goals.

I look forward to hearing from you to answer any questions or concerns regarding the

employment and experience background depicted in my attached resume.

Sincerely,

Ian F. Jacobs
