Dear Hiring Manager / Recruiter,

Good Morning! I hope your day is going well and appreciate you taking a minute or less to look over my qualifications.

I do want to point out I have never been terminated or asked to leave a position in my career. During the past 10 years or so job stability has been very uncertain for me as I`m sure it has been for a lot of people. Several of my previous positions have been thru cuts, downsizing etc and it`s been tough. Please keep in mind I am very adaptable to most any environment and my ability to change is something I`m quite proud of!

I`m seeking a position in: Sales, Management or Administration. A good work environment with motivated people and close commute to my home in (Columbia, SC area) is a key goal.

I have acquired a solid slate of skills that are readily adaptable into new working environments. I am seeking a position that will utilize my expertise to assist you in achieving your goals. It is with this in mind that I am forwarding my resume to you.

Your organization will benefit from my ability to adapt to all people, processes, facilities, and operations. My future colleagues and staff will appreciate my openness to training and team building. Equally as important, your customers will recognize an improvement in your company`s ability to address their issues, and in the quality of service that they receive.

While my resume highlights my work history, a personal interview will convey my knowledge, flexibility, and common sense approach to utilizing resources. Please contact me to discuss your needs and my qualifications in depth. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Respectfully,

Scott Christmas
