To Whom It May Concern:
Please accept this letter and my attached resume as an expressed interest
in an opportunity to become a part of your company in a capacity which will
best put to use my previous experience, training and background in business
program operations management and administration.
I have been involved in many aspects of business operations management,
supervision and administration for a family-owned company since 1977. For
twenty years I was solely responsible for the organization and coordination
of maintaining business operations procedures on a daily basis. Areas of
concentration included policy development and implementation, personnel
training and supervision, sales management and development and client
service and relations.
In 1996 I made a personal decision to pursue a career interest outside the
family business. This decision led me to ice rink management, first in
Syracuse, New York and then to Chicago, IL. Later, I was afforded the
opportunity to manage a large residential real estate office, overseeing
the activities of 35 agents. I left that job to move to Arizona in
December 2001.
I am confident that my qualifications, experience in company operations,
background in all aspects of administrative services and supervisory and
managerial abilities would make a positive contribution to your company. I
would welcome an opportunity to meet and discuss this prospect with you
personally.
Excellent references are available and will be presented to you upon
request. Should you have the need for additional information or would like
to meet with me for a personal interview, please contact me at your
earliest convenience.
Thank you for your time and consideration in reviewing this material and
for your forthcoming response.
Sincerely,
Christina Benedetto
