Dear Human Resources Representative:
Please accept my letter of interest for the advertised position.
Because of the current downturn in the economy that created mandatory
company layoffs, I am seeking employment where I can apply my enthusiasm,
hands-on training and experience.
Realizing that a resume can only provide you with basic information, I
would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you personally to discuss my
qualifications along with the position available.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to speaking with
you soon.
Sincerely,
Jay-Shari Johnson
