To Whom It May Concern:
I am submitting this letter and my resume for an open position with your company.
Currently I am a part-time student, looking for full-time employment with previous experience in customer service in a medical setting. Previously, I was the Marketing Administrator for a medical staffing company. My main job duty included primary marketing in the form of monthly newsletters. I also had daily telephone contact with clients, obtained and data entered all new orders.
While employed with Blue Cross Blue Shield of AZ, I dealt primarily with providing Federal employees, individually insured, and medical providers with exceptional customer service. While employed with Blue Cross I worked in three different departments and it has enabled me to be well trained with procedures and experienced with many programs that would provide me valuable knowledge with your company.
I am hard working, well organized, can handle multiple tasks concurrently and I am a team player. I was a member and organizer of our department Morale Committee Team and was publisher of our department newsletter. Attached you will find my resume detailing my qualifications. I would appreciate any time you have to discuss how my qualifications fit in with your company's vision.
I appreciate your consideration and look forward to an opportunity to speak with you.
