Re: Recruiter Opportunity
To Whom It May Concern,
I am forwarding my resume in application of the Recruiter opportunity currently posted on the CareerBuilder.com website.
You will find the following resume endorses my diverse and substantial career as human resources professional with a strong commitment to providing exceptional service for both the internal and external customer of the organization. I am a resourceful HR practitioner with the unique ability to motivate, train, mentor, and inspire others to reach their full potential. A C-level executive once described me as “…a skillful visionary with the ability to quickly assess complex situations, establish priorities, and provide successful solutions.”
I effectively develop and direct strategic employee-focused programs backed by deep analytics with a continued focus in keeping with the organizations fiscal goals and objectives.
My overall human resources experience includes:
Employee Engagement
Compensation Practices
Recruitment & Selection Strategies
Training & Development
Performance Management Programs
Employment Law / FLSA / Wage & Hour
Strategic Policy Development
Safety Programs/OSHA/LOA
Organizational Development
Payroll Administration / HRIS
Benefits Plan Management & EE Admin
To my credit, I successfully acclimate to new surroundings and people, make initial assessments, and take on new projects with very little transition issues. I historically maintain a fast paced and thriving cadence to match the passion I have for excellence in my work and career. I have a clear understanding the stamina, vision, and commitment required to ensure continuing performance levels and deliverables achieved in the tasks set before me.
Being very direct, I am completely open to discussing the gaps in traditional employment in my career history. While the last several years of parenting + an unplanned life-changing season [fighting cancer with my child] might have initiated my chosen self-employment, it does not mean that there has been a gap in my development of self, my skill-sets, my relevant knowledge, nor my drive and determination.
My unique skillset is evidence by my lucratively transitioning my traditional career talents to build several non-traditional sales / marketing-based businesses that included customer / team recruiting / lead generation, full-cycle customer / team acquisition and retention strategies. These included sourcing, on-boarding, training and mentoring clients to reach their goals and other Promoters in developing their own income-generating businesses. This notable achievement in crossing over my core competencies is a key example of my understanding the nature of business, how to achieve business success + my focus that people are KEY to that success. All attributes that make the HR practitioner in a great partner to a dynamic business’s management team.
Continuing to thrive during self-employment not only subsidized needed income as a single parent but also advanced my entrepreneurial objectives. To date, my non-traditional choices have given me a greater understanding and strength for working on priorities, time management, commitment and being successful at whatever I put within my sights. I am a survivor and have learned a new vision, looking at challenges differently. Seeing shades of gray, new ways to negotiate, compromise, collaborate and lead. New paths to solutions and success. Failure is not an option in my life
Including again refocusing on traditional career. I hope that I am not looked at as a candidate that is over qualified because of my past work history, nor under qualified due to my recent non-traditional choices. I am not “ego involved” whatsoever. I am positive that the exponential experiences in my life and background ensure that I can successfully blend, fit, grow into and with your organization and ensure its continuing success in this HR role.
I would appreciate speaking with you to discuss my qualifications and further demonstrate that along with the credentials, I have the personality, ethics, ENERGY and professionalism that makes for a successful team player. I look forward to hearing from you as soon as is practical. Thank you for your time, attention, and consideration.
Best regards,
Melanie Brainerd
