To whom it may concern:

As a professional with 13 years management experience, I am seeking a

position with a stable company in which I can realize my potential. Over

the years, I have assumed positions with increasing managerial

responsibility. I thrive from new experiences and new challenges.

In my position as store manager of a Taco Casa franchise, I brought my

store to profitability within one year of its opening. Sales increased 36%

each year, and I worked directly to help develop and maintain marketing

programs that led to that increase.

I consistently strive to learn and build my ability. While acting as

manager of the Taco Casa, I also acted as assistant manager of the

adjoining Chevron. Also, my company opened a new store in Greenville-in

which I oversaw the finances on a weekly basis. Over the last several

years, I have honed my skills while earning a BBA in May, 2009 from Texas

A&M in marketing. I am looking forward to finding a position that can

offer me even greater challenges.

My increasing efficiency in controlling inventory led to another managerial

position within the same company when it opened a new restaurant. I ran a

SUBWAY which reached profitability in much less time then Taco Casa.

Because of my experiences with Chevron, I joined Murphy USA as a manager in

Sulphur Springs, TX in mid June.

For me, customer service is my top priority. I am often called upon to

deal directly with difficult customers to reach amicable conclusions. For

my customers, I am the face of Murphy USA, and I endeavor to make that face

represent quality and customer satisfaction.

I am able to relocate where ever needed. I look forward to getting to know

your company better in the future.

Sincerely,

Linda Allen
