Dear Human Resource Manager,
After many years of working directly with people in diverse professional
settings, I am seeking to leverage my experience in a customer service
position within the field of management. For this reason, I was excited to
learn that your company is currently seeking a Customer Service Supervisor,
and I would appreciate the opportunity to be considered as a strong
candidate.
Ideally, this position will allow me the opportunity to utilize my
experience gained as a Supervisor with The Federal Reserve System. In this
capacity, I co-managed my team in areas of customer relations, banking,
workflow management, staff training, supervision, and problem resolution.
In this position, I have succeeded in positioning my team for career growth
through leadership and unique public relations opportunities. Additional
experience includes working in restaurant management and as the leader of
the IT desk at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga.
Much of my experience is transferable, specifically in the areas of sales,
scheduling, and customer service support; however, I look forward to
learning broad areas of managing. If I am provided the opportunity, I am
confident that my experience and personable disposition would be an asset
to your company.
For your convenience, I have attached my resume for your review. Realizing
the limitations of the written page, I would welcome the opportunity to
participate in a personal interview to answer any of the questions and
better present my qualifications. Thank you for your time and
consideration. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
Sincerely,
DeMarcus J. Butts
