Wonderful Day and Hello,
In response to your advertisement and the qualifications therein, I would like to be considered for the position available in your company. I acquired my B.S. degree in Technical Management, CIS in October of 2012 and feel I would be the best candidate for the position you are offering. I have a plethora of experiences, am an intelligent, enthusiastic hands-on learner with a great deal of ambition, and drive to succeed in all that I encounter.
Experiences in the colleges I have attended and the activities I have been associated with during the years of attending both online and on campus classes is part of the personal attributes I feel will allow me to be an asset to the company.
I attained my Associates Degree at Central Piedmont Community College.
During that time I mentored, tutored, and led workshops that enabled students to become master students. Personally, in 1997, I proposed, managed, and carried out a fundraiser event for students in need on campus. The group chosen raised enough money for three students to attain the needed items. I also worked in the office of Student Support Services as an office assistant with many duties assisting the office personnel and the students upon arrival. I worked in the front desk reception area and carried out the duties of that position as well as the other duties given to me by the upper staff members. The past
activities have built a pride and satisfaction.
Since that time, I have managed my own companies. I have two businesses I have begun and grown. One is a computer specialist company and the other is a quilts and crafts business. Both are doing well. I manage both with a one employee. My information technology, computer information skills and technical writing skills are extremely adept and I utilize them daily with the company and the clients I serve with fervor and initiative. Although both companies are doing well, I feel it best for my growth and success, I would benefit from working in a comapny with potential for growth, using all of my knowledge and skills. I think my abilities will be assets to the structure and responsibilities within your company.
Becoming a part of your company’s growth and success would be an honor and a very rewarding
experience. The duties mentioned the posting on beyond.com are definitely services, I feel, are comparable to the responsibilities experienced in the past. Being able to use all of the skills acquired through my educational advancements and experiences working with clients would be magnificent. The amalgamation of my history and the ascension of my future would be enhanced by the obligations of the position offered.
I welcome the opportunity to correspond with you about this position. I am in desperate need of employment.
My resume has been uploaded per your instructions. I may be reached at the numbers above.
Thank you in advance for your consideration and time.
Sincerely,
Susan B. Woodley
