Human Resources Manager

HR Assistant, Associate, Coordinator, Generalist, or Representative (within the United States)

Date: 2012-12-11, 9:47PM ************@*****.***

I am a May 2011 college graduate still seeking my first post-college career in human resources. Although I have never held a career that dealt with HR every minute of every work hour, I have had experience which is usually associated with HR. As a manager with McDonald's for 6 years, I have been in charge of employee development, documentation, progressive discipline, coaching and counseling of employees, and interpreting company policies and documentations to employees. With that said, I feel that an HR position that would allow me entry into the profession would be a great fit and a great beginning for my career path.

My career goals are to become certified as a Professional in Human Resources through the Human Resources Certification Institute, as well as to gain hands-on experience in writing and/or re-writing company polices so as to ensure equality, fairness, and consistency throughout the workplace. I am willing to relocate anywhere within the United States, but preferably in one of the following areas: Charlotte, NC and surrounding areas; Atlanta, GA and surrounding areas; Savannah, GA; anywhere along eastern Florida; or anywhere in SC.

Not only do I have solid employment and more years of management experience than many of my counterparts similar in age as me, but I am also a member of SHRM: Society for Human Resource Management. My future goals include becoming certified as a Professional in Human Resources through the Human Resources Certification Institute, as well as to gain more hands-on experience in doing all sorts of HR-related things such as writing and/or re-writing company polices in an effort to ensure equality, fairness, and consistency throughout the workplace. I can also learn new software and computer programs quickly; I am already accustomed to using Microsoft Word and Excel, from Word 97 to 2010 and beyond but will need some minimal practice with your company's payroll system. I am, however, aware of programs or services such as ADP, Kronos, Paychex, and QuickBooks.

In order for me to be able to comfortably accept the position, I would need a salary of at least $34,000 before taxes. This salary would allow me to at least 'break even' with my current costs of living in Central, SC (nearby Clemson, SC) when compared to the cost of living in any of the places listed above. I want to relocate and would be more than willing to drive to your company and back for an interview if given the opportunity. I would prefer to be able to work out a 2-week notice with my current employer in order to provide them enough time to make necessary staffing/scheduling arrangements as well as to give me some time for moving; however, I understand that if the decision to hire me is based on how quickly I can start, I will do my best to work with your company on this.

Thank you in advance for your time. I look forward to further interaction with you in the near future! My resume is available upon request.
