Re: Employment
To Whom It May Concern:
I am submitting a copy of my resume as an expression of interest in employment with your organization. I have recently returned to Ventura County and am eager to obtain long term employment in a position that utilizes my skills, challenges me to learn, and provides room for career growth and advancement. I have over ten years experience in the accounting industry and am a former CTEC tax preparer. I also have almost ten years experience working in financial institutions. Most recently, I was employed as the office manager at a mechanical engineering firm which included all accounting, human resources, reception, and administrative responsibilities. I have also held positions as accounting clerk, senior accountant, and tax preparer.
I have a strong background in accounting with several years experience in a/p, bank and credit card reconciliations, bank deposits, and processing payroll. I am hard-working, organized, meticulous, and I have excellent communication skills. I am a fast learner, self-starter, team player, and I am able to work with little or no supervision. I have strong computer skills and have never had any problems learning new software. I also have exceptional telephone etiquette and professionalism; and I was previously recognized by the Staff Training and Recognition Program (STAR) for outstanding customer service. My resume can only highlight my professional accomplishments. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you and discuss how my experience is consistent with your needs. A personal interview would allow me to demonstrate my professionalism as well as my outgoing personality. Thank you for taking the time to review my resume. I am excited about this opportunity and I look forward to hearing from you soon. I am available immediately and am best reached by telephone at 805-***-****. Sincerely,
Betsy Everett
