Honest and dedicated employee with many years of experience that would be

beneficial to any potential employer. I'm a very hard working person with

knowledge that would be an asset contributing to a team effort or a

reliable self-starter that excels while working as an individual. I feel

that my organizational skills and my attention to detail make me an

excellent manager and allow me to earn the respect of my peers. I truly

believe that given an opportunity to prove my abilities my performance

would be outstanding.

I look forward to meeting with your company to discuss my qualifications

for employment and would like to thank you for taking the time to consider

my application.
