Dear Hiring Manager,

Contributing to the success of my employers through expert management of recruitment activities has been one of the

cornerstones of my career to date. I have played a key role in building and maintaining strong workforces – including for

start up hotels that are now Las Vegas landmarks – through development and execution of successful selection and hiring

efforts. I am now looking to bring my talent and knowledge to work for your team in a new and challenging position.

Setting me apart from others in the field is a Master of Arts in Human Resources Development, which, when combined

with my PHR certification and 7 years of experience, prepares me well to step into this role with your organization. I

earned a strong reputation for my ability to quickly fill organizational needs through strategic staffing efforts, and possess

general HR expertise across a range of functions (including benefits, payroll, and processes). As my resume indicates, I

have also worked as a teacher over the last 12 years – my goal now is to return to a Human Resources role with your

company, where I am confident that I can quickly become a vital member of your team.

For a more detailed presentation of my career and achievements, please review the enclosed resume and feel free to

contact me at your earliest convenience. Thank you in advance for your consideration. I look forward to speaking with

you soon.

Sincerely,

Denise R. Levi, PHR
