Dear Hiring Manager:

I am currently seeking a challenging Human Resources role, and am

submitting my resume for your review.

As an active member of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), I

am excited to build a rewarding career with your company, and am confident

that my broad range of professional skills can achieve your key objectives.

I can offer 10 years of solid experience in Employee Relations, Team

Building / Training, Benefits Administration, Workers' Compensation, and

Payroll Management, and am well-versed in all facets of Policy / Procedure

Development, Process Improvement, and Regulatory Compliance.

To complement my background, please note that I hold a B.S. in Human

Resources Development (Minor in Business) from the University of Tennessee.

I am also designated as a Professional in Human Resources (PHR) by the

Human Resources Certification Institute.

Most recently, as a Human Resources Manager for Thirty-One, I applied my

dynamic leadership talents toward establishing policies and procedures

designed to reduce absenteeism and improve employee morale, along with

managing all staff recruitment and payroll processing for facility

operations in TN and OH. In a previous similar position for Steward

Advanced Materials, I was recruited to successfully reorganize HR

department functions, including handling all benefits administration and

workers' compensation activities. Within this role, I also established a

compensation structure; updated and / or created job descriptions; and

standardized safety / training programs. As this is just a sampling of my

job history, please kindly refer to my enclosed resume for additional

experience.

You will find me to be a solutions-focused professional who can contribute

superior attention-to-detail and sharp analytical abilities. In addition,

I can plan, delegate, and manage multiple tasks within deadline-driven

environments while streamlining general human resources and diverse

recruitment processes to increase productivity, efficiency, and quality.

For the sum of these aforementioned reasons, I believe I will prove to be

an incredible asset to your team.

I look forward to hearing from you, and thank you in advance for your time

and consideration.

Sincerely,

Kathie Manning, PHR
