To Whom It May Concern:
I found your job posting and believe that I am exactly what you are looking
for! I was an HR / Office Manager for Sears for over 3 years now and have
gained much experience in the industry.
Most recently, I was the Assistant Store Manager of Softlines. This made
me responsible for all aspects of my department, from staffing, training,
merchandising, and everything else you can think of!
Previously, I was the HR department. That means I was solely responsible
for recruiting, training, retention, payroll, and everything else that goes
with HR including all paperwork and payroll for 150+ employees. Tacked on
to my role of HR Manager, I also acted as the Office Manager. If you are
looking for someone with knowledge, experience, and drive to succeed, then
we need to talk.
I am currently residing in Indianapolis, IN, however Austin is my home and
I am eager to return. From the sound of your posting, you are looking for
a driven, multi-tasker who can master their job. I believe that I am that
person and would love the opportunity to sit down and make you believe that
as much as I do. Take a look at my resume and I look forward to hearing
from you.
Sincerely,
Tracey Horn
