Dear Sir or Madam:
I am applying for the Accountant position listed on georgiajobnetwork.com.
I have reviewed the job qualifications and I am confident that I can become
a valued member of your organization with minimal training.
My experience in Accounting and Administration spans over ten years. In my
experience I have served as a manager as well as a team member. The
details of my responsibilities and accomplishments are outlined on my
resume; what I would like to convey here are the underlying traits and
abilities indicated through my background:
. I am well-versed in a broad range of accounting and administrative
functions. Through my experience in these activities, I am able to
make quick, well-formed decisions as issues and problems arise.
. I am consistently seeking ways to improve processes and operations.
Through changes in task scheduling, employee incentives, and the
ordering of business processes, I have innovated improvements that
subsequently led to significant cost and time savings.
. I maintain a clear focus on producing results. Whether it be through
achieving a high completion rate for on-time payments or influencing
