To Whom It May Concern
I would like to submit my resume for your consideration for employment.
I would like to give you a few highlights about myself that would make me an asset to your
company. Over the years, I have been fortunate to have been employed with companies that
have strengthened my skills as a manager and employee. I have helped empower team members
and peers by giving them leadership and constructive feedback, therefore generating measurable
service excellence responses from our customers. A focused sales and performance plan has
resulted in stores exceeding regional sales expectations.
I am a conscientious, hard worker that would welcome the opportunity to bring my skills and
abilities to you to make your company the success I’ve brought others.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
