Dear Human Resources Director:

I am very excited to apply for the Medical Billing position through

Premier Staffing Services. I learned of the position today through

Oodle.com.

Three years ago I moved back to my hometown of Fort Wayne, after

having lived and worked in Ohio and South Carolina. Though in years

past my training and employment concentrated in the fields of ministry

and music performance, since my return to Fort Wayne I have redirected

my career focus. With that in mind, I also possess over seven years

of very successful and current experience with clerical work in

colleges, offices, hospitals, and other workplaces, and I offer you

these key skills in administrative support:

o Excellent proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook,

PowerPoint, Publisher, Macintosh word processing, Word Perfect,

and the Internet, in addition to significant experience with,

and an eagerness to learn further, various data entry and

proprietary software.

o A demonstrated broad-based understanding of a variety of

disciplines and subjects, including strong medical and

mathematical backgrounds, along with a keen interest in

acquiring an understanding of new fields and procedures. I have

been called a "Renaissance man" due to my substantial education,

achievements, and diverse interests.

o A spectrum of beneficial personal attributes: maturity, honesty,

diligence, creativity, diplomacy, flexibility, reliability,

adaptability, dedication, patience, warmth, and wit.

o Valuable personal abilities: paying accurate attention to

detail, exceptional verbal and written communication skills,

solid organizational and problem-solving talents, strong

interpersonal skills, learning quickly, multi-tasking,

maintaining confidentiality, and the proven ability to work well

both individually and in a team-oriented environment.

I am confident that my employment and academic backgrounds are assets

which demonstrate the value I offer on your behalf. After reviewing

my enclosed r sum , you may contact me by phone at 260-***-**** or

by e-mail at ********@****.***. Thank you very much for your

attention to my application for the position.

Sincerely,

Michael Paxson
