To whom it may concern,
Hello, my name is Carrie Huber and I am interested in applying for the
Receptionist position that you have available. I may not have extensive
experience in that position, however; I have been a bartender for ten
years, so I feel that I would definitely be qualified for the position.
Being a bartender you most definitely have to multi-task and prioritize,
which I have been told that I do very well. You must also need to be able
to work in a fast-paced environment and stay calm, I also feel I do that
very well.
I am a huge people person and I adapt very well to all types of
personalities. I am energetic, honest, reliable, bubbly, a good listener,
extremely organized, and a workaholic. I have excelled and been promoted
at most every job that I have held. I have been a manager at three of my
jobs and have had to oversee staffs of ten to fifteen people. Due to my
managerial position, I was in charge of all the office/secretarial work
pertaining to the bar and its staff. With my extensive customer service
background and my office experience; I would be a great addition as a
Receptionist for your company.
I am applying for the job because I am looking to change professional
careers. I am sure you must be getting many responses for the job opening;
I am sure some are with previous experience. However, I can assure you
that if you do hire me you will not be disappointed. I value integrity, I
am trust-worthy, I take initiative, and I am a self-starter. I am punctual,
a fast learner and a very hard worker. I also have great problem solving
skills and think well on my feet. I work very well independently as well
as in a team environment. I would be a great asset to any company.
I am currently unemployed and would be able to start immediately.
Also, I am very flexible with working any days and any hours. I look
forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. Best of luck to
you in your hiring endeavors.
Thank you for your time,
Carrie Huber
