Cover Letter

Dear Recruiter,

In my 10-plus year HR career, I have worked in both professional and manufacturing environments, both non-union and union. I have found that managing Human Resources as a business partner requires a unique blend of expertise in organizational planning, process development, administration, employee relationship management, management skills, along with an in-depth knowledge of compensation/payroll, benefits, federal and state employment laws and computer proficiency. I believe I offer all of this and more.

In addition to being a comprehensive manager/generalist of Human Resources, I offer outstanding interpersonal skills (comes in handy when handling difficult employee relation issues), communication skills and organizational skills, which have proven to be critical assets in developing, maintaining, and supporting a highly effective HR department. My experience has allowed me to work with business colleagues from the CEO to the associate level in professional environments and in 24/7 manufacturing environments. I am used to traveling up to 50% of time.

I am a hands-on Human Resources professional and have no problem being the one and only . Being proficient with MS Office applications is extremely helpful to me as well. Also, I am used to facilitating training and presentations of all types in front of large groups.

I am looking for a long term employer relationship where I can use my comprehensive HR expertise and knowledge. My resume with salary history is attached for your review and consideration. Would you grant me an interview

Sincerely,

Gail W. Elliott
