From: Robert Hockin
RE: Opportunity with your organization
Dear Sir or Ms.:
You are probably going to get hundreds of applications for the position
posted -- all promising the same things. Nevertheless, I want to show you
how my skills and experience not only make me different from others, but
offer you more value.
As you will see from the attached materials, my career has spanned
corporate management, management consulting settings, and especially
significant work with strategic issues. I have extensive leadership
experience and have led people to regularly reach and exceed their goals,
in other words-to achieve results.
Of particular note for you and the members of your team as you consider my
skills are my strong accomplishments in combining business acumen with
organizational and marketing savvy to achieve improved operating efficiency
internally and improved performance for the organization as a whole.
Additionally, my accomplishments have been achieved by enhancing overall
organization and personal performance, and improving cooperation and
communication between management and staff. I am seeking an executive
leadership position in an organization where I can make a long-lasting,
positive contribution.
If you are seeking a talented individual who stays abreast of his field,
who understands organizational strategy, who earns 100% staff support, and
who is as career-committed as it takes to achieve total success, then
please consider what I have to offer.
I would be happy to have a preliminary discussion with you or members of
your team to see if we can establish a mutual interest. Thank you for your
attention to these materials. I certainly look forward to exploring this
further.
Sincerely,
Robert J. Hockin
