Dear Personnel:
I am interested in your position for a buyer-planner. I have experience
working as a buyer and a senior production planner. I am looking for a long
term career opportunity. I was recently involved in converting to SAP from
MFG-PRO. I have considerable computer and technology skills after working
in the Information Technology area. I am looking to use my skills in a
way as to benefit my employer. I have worked in the industrial field and
been responsible for purchasing, inventory and job costing. I spent 7 years
working in distributions and many more purchasing items for manufacturing
in the hydraulic area. I think my significant computer background and my
knowledge of purchasing would be of great benefit to you in this position.
My skills have allowed me to complete a variety of projects with minimal
supervision.
My previous position has allowed me to expand my computer skills by dealing
with many computer platforms including the IBM AS/400 including their Lotus
Notes application. I have experience using all Microsoft Office products
(Word, Access, Excel, Power Point, and Outlook).
I am seeking a position where I would best be able to put my talents to
use. Challenges motivate me and I am able to work well with others or
independently, depending on the requirements of the situation. I will look
forward to meeting with you at your earliest convenience. I would also
appreciate your keeping this inquiry confidential. Thank you for your
consideration.
Sincerely,
Susan Holt
