Dear Sirs:
I am writing to apply for a position within your company. I understand the
value of an efficient employee, and I feel I would make an outstanding
asset to your organization.
I am a mature self starter. I take pride in my ability to complete
assigned task within the time allowed. I have excellent writing and
communication skills. I enjoy working with people as well as being able to
work independently.
I have excelled in maintaining software skills such as, Microsoft word,
excel, access, outlook, power point, and publisher. I am near completion
of a Bachelors of Science in Psychology from the University of New Orleans.
During the first half of my education I held a student worker job at the
university in the financial aid office as the assistant to the director of
the financial aid office for two years. During this time I was trained
further on how to use Microsoft outlook and PowerPoint due to specific
assignments. I also received training in another type of software called
PeopleSoft.
As I progressed through my college education from the University of New
Orleans I was accepted to hold other customer service positions at Lamarque
Ford as a Business Development Coordinator, Assistant Manager at Finish
line, and Retail Sales Associate/Customer Service Representative at Circuit
City. These positions taught me problem solving skills, organization, and
promptness. I was also able to show how prepared I was at all times, a
great personality to each individual customer, and being on time to work
each day with little to no absences. I then was able to find another
student worker position at LSU Health Sciences Center in the Human
Resources Department. I worked in the department for one year and a half.
I really enjoyed having this position, but was accepted into LSU Health
Sciences Center for nursing and had to give up my job due to not having
enough time to work as well as halt my bachelors degree from the University
of New Orleans, which is why I hold a certification as a certified nursing
assistant . Within the allotted time I discovered that nursing was not in
my particular interest, and decided to continue my education at the
University of New Orleans leaving me with three more courses to fulfill
before I can attain my degree.
I will then proceed to earning my masters in business administration with a
concentration in Human Resources. Therefore, I am currently looking for a
position that will help me progress and develop the skills that is needed
for the business field. I am very willing to learn and be trained as a
professional representative. I am positive I will be a great asset to your
company.
Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you. Have a nice
day.
Sincerely:
LaToya Maricia Lowe
