Manager Human Resources

Dennis Oake

**** - **** ***** ****** - ***** York, Ontario - M2N 7G9

Cell: 416-***-**** - Home: 416-***-**** - Email: *****@*******.**

In addition to leading the HR department, I am a strategic business partner

in my current position and serve on the executive team. My ten+ years in HR

as a General Manager, HR Generalist and now HR Manager, has allowed me to

grow and develop professionally and as a leader.

I am an outcome-oriented Human Resources specialist who has worked in

various senior HR positions to assist companies in achieving sustainable

business growth and a positive operating culture.

I have a demonstrated ability to manage the demands of employee

recruitment, training and termination, as well as the day-to-day

requirements of remuneration management, Occupational Health and Safety,

and industrial relations issues. My qualifications and professional

development have contributed to my ability to manage these diverse

responsibilities, but I believe it is my interpersonal skills and open-door

policy that have driven my success in fostering strong long-term workplace

processes and relationships.

In my current and previous positions I have been responsible for driving

the learning and development of both the management team and the general

staff. I always aim to support and coach the team with positivity to

encourage engagement and shape the culture of the organization.

A key skill I have acquired is the ability to successfully develop,

implement and manage new HR systems and procedures. I enjoy the challenge

of integrating a new system and working with the wider HR team to ensure a

smooth and improved workflow. I have a proactive management style with the

ability to drive significant change management activities.

I am highly computer literate and have managed projects that required solid

IT skills, such as the design and implementation of a new website as well

as an ecommerce system. I approach all my work with an enthusiastic,

professional attitude and look forward to utilising my skills in a new and

challenging environment.

I am most anxious to join an organization where HR is respected and where I

can continue to provide input to the strategic business issues while

implementing forward thinking HR and talent management strategies. Your

advertised position appears to fit my experience, accomplishments, and

education.

I thank you in advance for reviewing my CV and look forward to discuss the

possibility of my joining your organization's team of Human Resources

professionals. Thank you for your review and consideration.

Working Together,

Dennis Oake
