Dear Mister and Madam;
I am interested in interviewing with your firm. My educational background
with combined practical experience acquired during previous employment has
provided me with the skills and preparation to excel in many areas. I would
very much like to meet with you to discuss how well my qualifications align
with your hiring needs.
I am a people person with outstanding communication skills that enable me
to bring out the best as well as to encourage others. I am a hard working
individual who always strives to make a difference. I am a person that has
integrity and honesty as the core of my beliefs. I am dependable and moral.
I am a quick learner. Having grown up with a father in the military, I have
learned about teamwork, dedication, and keeping personal matters
confidential. I am self-motivated and if I see something that needs to get
done I do it, or if there is someone in need of help I help him or her,
even before they ask.
Outside of work I enjoy volunteer activities with my Church and always
strive to provide excellence in all that I do.
I have a very strong interest in seeking a position with your firm because
I believe that with my solid knowledge, enthusiasm for learning, and
superior work habits, that I would be a powerful contributor to you and
your team.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to our speaking soon.
Respectfully,
Jessica L. Martin
