Dear Perspective Employer,
My name is Karen Turner and I am currently seeking employment in the
Tuscaloosa, AL area. I have over 12 years experience in the field of Human
Resources and have had Six Sigma training. I have worked in several
different aspects of business and find myself comfortable in all of them. I
have skills in all areas of Human Resources plus many areas of production
administration. If you will please take the time to review my resume you
will find that I am a highly skilled, experienced and loyal employee that
would be an asset to your company.
I am available to start work immediately due to the closure of the
manufacturing facility where I worked on Sept. 9, 2010.
I am seeking employment in Tuscaloosa area so that I may relocate to the
area which I consider home. I have family in the area and also own a home
within driving distance of Tuscaloosa making immediate relocation possible
for me.
Thank you for your consideration and if you should have any questions or
require additional information not provided on my resume I will be happy to
provide it.
Respectfully,
Karen S. Turner
