Dear Employer,
I have recently relocated from New Jersey to Myrtle Beach and am seeking a
new full time position that has the longevity to become a career. I am
currently working as a Department Manager of the Installed Sales Office for
Lowe's Home Improvement. I am seeking a position outside the realm of the
retail setting where I can continue to apply the skills I have acquired
throughout my college career.
I am a graduate of the College of New Jersey where my major field of study
was Business Administration. I have completed various business courses in
the field of Human Resources, Employment Law, Accounting, Finance,
Management, etc.
I am very detail oriented and am accustomed to working in a fast paced
environment where multi tasking is a must. My six years of retail
experience have also made me excellent at providing outstanding customer
service and working well with others. I have great computer, people, and
organizational skills and I hope to find a position where I have the
opportunity to put those skills to use.
Thank you for your time and I hope to speak with you further.
Sincerely,
Robyn Jacobs
