Staff Recruiting Manager
Dear Potential Employer:
In response to your advertisement for the Records Management position, I am
submitting my resume for your immediate review. A few highlights to note
is that I have approximately twelve years of expertise in professional
Records Management, with several of the most recent years spent in
positions emphasizing the creation and implementation of records management
databases and policies and administrative responsibilities. I have also
won accolades for outstanding customer service among both staff and
executives.
In order to round out what I believe has been a stellar increase in records
management skill sets, business acumen, and increasing document specialist
abilities, I am currently studying for the Records Management Specialist
Certification via the NARA training program. I am certain that the
synergies between my background, experience and desire to continue to
develop mastery within the Records Management field would bode well for a
mutually rewarding, in-person meeting to discuss in depth why I may be
ideally suited to fill your currently available Records Management
position.
If after perusal of my resume, you are interested in considering my
candidacy further, please do contact me forthwith. I can be available to
both interview and start immediately and can be reached at the email
address or telephone number listed at the head of my attached resume
anytime, day or night. I look forward to your expeditious response.
Very best regards,
Willie Wimbush
