TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,
I am writing in response to the position of a Human Resource Professional, advertised as being open with your company at this time. I am a recent graduate of the University of Alberta with a focus in Human Resource Management and Strategic Management Operations. The nature of my degree has prepared me for this position. As an ambitious Human Resources Professional, it would be a great opportunity for me to work in a dynamic environment that deals with skills related to human-to-human interactions. This I believe will give me a chance to gain further experience in the field of HR, as well as providing me with a better understanding of the internal structures of the different organizations that exist in the world. I believe this job position fits perfectly with my goals as it aligns with preparing me with future career advancements and personal development. Personally, I would like to take this opportunity to increase my involvement in the community, while simultaneously using it in a way to strengthen my interpersonal skills and enrich my knowledge of the business world.
I am a fast-paced and client-oriented type of individual, an individual with a keen understanding of work place expectations and what employers are looking for. In terms of my experience, I have worked in the restaurant industry for over 10 years, in which I have learnt a lot about the necessary skills required for maintaining customer satisfaction and ensuring that internal processes work smoothly in an organization. Additionally, I have various work experiences in the food and retail markets. From working in restaurants to big chain supply stores, I have acquired extensive knowledge on dealing with problems that companies are faced with. Most recently, I worked at Echo Promotions, a local marketing company. During my time at Echo, I was in charge of the quality control division, where I learnt a lot about the logo printing industry. Shortly afterwards, I was promoted to be an administrative assistant where I was responsible for clerical duties of the company. I am able to take on the responsibility of this position immediately when it begins and have the enthusiasm and determination to ensure that I make a success of it. Thank you for taking the time to consider this application and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
