Dear Human Resources,

It is with great interest that I hope you accept my application for the Human Resources Assistant position within your

company. I believe that my education, experience, and passion for what I do would make me an ideal candidate.

I am a graduate of The Ohio State University with a Bachelors of Science in Human Ecology. I possess over ten years of

customer service experience with three years in management. I have demonstrated my qualities as a leader in customer

service and organizational standards in my most recent position as an Area Manager with Filene’s Basement, one of the most

recognizable and established retail brands.

My management experience has provided me with invaluable organization tools, including leading and coordinating

employees and special projects, mentoring fellow co workers, executing successful store events, and working within a team

environment. My time at Filene’s Basement has allowed me to become proficient in all aspects of store operations including

administrative and clerical functions, office management and inventory management, assisting in the hiring and development

of new employees, and providing an excellent level of customer service. While working for Filene’s Basement has been a

rewarding experience, I am looking for a career in which I can foster my unique talents. I am excited to demonstrate my

prioritizing and customer service skills in a new environment and take on a new challenge. I am confident that my interpersonal

skills would translate well in your work environment. I can bring an enthusiastic attitude and a detail oriented mentality to a

Human Resources position within your company. I am committed to my career path and would embrace an opportunity to

work for Urbanenergy.

I have enclosed my resume, which fully details my qualifications, for your consideration. My educational and professional

backgrounds as well as my career goals match your specific requirements and I am confident that I can apply these skills in a

Human Resources position with Urbanenergy.

Would you please consider my request for a personal interview to discuss my qualifications and learn more about this

opportunity? Please feel free to reach me at 614-***-**** or at my email address ******.*@***.***.

Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to speaking with you.

Sincerely,

Laura Nordin
