Resume:
GORDON SWANSON
Golden, Colorado 80403
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am interested in exploring opportunities with your organization where I
can contribute my experience in Accounting. Enclosed is a r sum for your
review and consideration.
My background includes a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and
more than 20 years accounting experience. I recently retired after more
than 20 years with the State of Colorado, University of Colorado and
Colorado School of Mines. I believe I still have much to offer and am
pursuing new challenges and opportunities where I can contribute my
experience. I offer extensive experience in most general accounting
functions as well as reviewing purchases, maintaining revenue records,
researching discrepancies, and reconciling accounts. In addition, I offer
excellent organizational and problem-solving skills, the ability to work
and communicate effectively with all levels of personnel, and the ability
to rapidly acquire and apply new skills. I believe this background,
combined with my analytical skills, attention to detail, motivation,
dedication and reliability, would be an asset to your organization.
My varied accounting experience includes about 13 years of doing various
kinds of inventories, including 8 years of performing the following
inventories in a hospital setting: 1) Dietary supplies, 2) Pharmaceuticals
and 3) Medical Supplies. Barley inventories for a major brewery and Work in
progress, Raw Materials and Finished Goods for a clothing manufacturer.
Should my qualifications interest you, I would appreciate the opportunity
for an interview to discuss my background and your needs in more detail.
Although I would like to apply for the GL Accountant position, my Accounts
Payable experience is much more recent and extensive. My E-Mail address is:
**************@***.***. My home phone number is: 303-***-****. My cell
phone number is: 303-***-****.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from
you soon.
Sincerely,
Gordon Swanson
