To the Hiring officials,
My name is Ken Harris, and I am a Communications Professional submitting my Resume and
information for consideration of this position. I have roughly 2 years of professional experience with
marketing, project coordination, and administrative/office management experience.
I find this position to be particularly fitting with my set of skills. I am searching for an entry level
position that will allow me to utilize my knowledge and abilities, as well as affords me the ability to grow and
learn within a company! I truly believe that working for this type of organization would be, well, a great
opportunity!
I am an extremely effective communicator, having conducted numerous public speaking
engagements, as well as organizing several large events (a 3 day national Holocaust Conference, WW2
remembrance services, and many others). I understand that not everyone has the same cognitive abilities, and
I tailor my writing styles and messages to be reflective of that (simple, succinct, informative). I have excellent
Power Point skills, as well as Word, operate exceptionally well under pressure and deadline, and have too
many years to count worth of experience with the “Miscellaneous duties as assigned” job function. I excel at
adapting to new situations and direction, and quite honestly, do not let stress inhibit my output.
My experiences in the professional world have afforded me world class customer service skills, the
ability to not only function independently or as part of a team, but also to lead a team with a success and
quality driven agenda!
Considering my experiences, and this being an entry level position, I would anticipate a salary of
mid 30’s, and I am very willing to negotiate! To discuss this position further with me, and to set up a possible
interview time, please contact me at *************@*****.***, or call me at 610-***-****. I look forward
to opening a dialogue and progressing further in this application process!
Sincerely,
Kenneth Wayne Harris
