Re: Human Resources Assistant
To Whom It May Concern:
Please accept this as my application for the HR Assistant position with Chief Construction Company Ltd. I recently graduated from Bow Valley College with a diploma in Business Adminstration, specializing in Human Resources. I currently volunteer with the Human Resources department of the Canadian Red Cross here in Calgary, Alberta. I believe my diploma studies, volunteer experience at the Red Cross, and previous related work experiences would make me an excellent addition to your team.
In my previous experience as a sales manager, I developed job descriptions, drafted job postings, recruited, selected and onboarded the 20 sales representatives that were on my team. Additionally, I learned how to be business focused and reguarly exceeded my monthly and annual sales targets.
I have also had the opportunity to volunteer with the Calgary Stampede and the Canadian Red Cross. In these volunteer positions I have been involved in pre-screening, interviews, conducting reference checks and setting up training for new staff.
Working in these roles has given me a unique skill set and helped me build a reputation for delivering excellent service. I believe that my experience in Human Resources and my hands-on education has given me the confidence and capability to excel in this role within Chief Construction Company Ltd. With my Canadian and international experiences, I have had the opportunity to work with diverse groups and within different contexts, which required flexibility, professionalism and respect for colleagues and clients.
