Dear Interview Committee:
Please accept my resume in application for your Director of Operations
position.
As an Executive and Human Resource Professional with more than 20 years
of service, one of my driving principals has been to follow the advice of Henry
Kissinger, “The task of a leader is to get his people from where they are to where
they have not been.” I truly believe there is no greater gift that you can give your
employees than to assist them in achieving their goals.
I am most interested in a position that offers challenges and opportunities for
travel and advancement within an organization that values integrity and
genuineness. I have an extremely high energy level which allows me to deliver
results and energize the organization as a whole.
If you believe my qualifications and experience would greatly contribute to your
organization I would welcome an opportunity to further discuss my
qualifications in detail. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Michele Gray
