Dear Search Committee:
Enclosed please find my resume in consideration for the Admissions Manager
position. With 12 years' ownership of two different businesses, I offer the
type of operational and executive experience required in resolving problems
of legal and emotional complexity while maintaining professionalism and
sensitivity. Moreover, I have three years experience consulting to
healthcare and spent several years working in Social Services, including 18
months of fieldwork at Napa State Hospital, one year as a group home
counselor, and one year as a geriatric in-home personal assistant.
A demonstrated pattern of success in business management includes:
. As Accounting Manager for LSS NorCal for the last 6 months, I
performed an audit of internal controls leading to multiple changes in
agency policies and procedures.
. As the senior most Finance Manager for Contra Costa County Children
and Families Commission for three years, I conducted wide sweeping
analyses of organization workflow, which assisted in reversing the
agency's financial reporting history to record three successive clean
audits.
. As co-owner and Controller of D2P Ventures, Inc. for eight years, I
performed accounting, budgeting, and reporting. I acted as Account
Executive for key corporate accounts and I negotiated contracts,
oversaw HR, and managed tax and legal issues.
In addition, in my four years ownership of a consulting business, my
accomplishments include:
. Presentation of complex information and recommendations.
. Project management, strategic planning, and change management
facilitation.
. Financial analysis, modeling, valuation, and feasibility studies for
business plans.
. Organizational surveys: created, conducted, analyzed, and planned for
change.
I hope that you can see that my experience and commitment to success would
make an effective addition to the Hospice team.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Bridget Robinson
