RE: (Part Time Greeter)
Dear Hiring Manager:
As I am sitting here drinking my second cup of coffee I began to ponder the thought, "Why would a company like
yours consider a former Educator for this position?" Why indeed? First, my work ethic is stellar, never being late
one day in twenty years. Here are some life lessons I have learned along the way: The most successful
employees are the ones that build relationships, establish trust, and convey authenticity in themselves and the
products they represent. As a former teacher, my strengths lie in effective written and oral communications,
consensus building, creative classroom management and development, critical analysis based on data driven
decisions, and attention to detail. As a Real Estate Agent, my strengths like in negotiation. In three months I did
700,000.00 in Sales. I am perceptive, personable, outgoing, approachable, and possess well honed
communication and presentation skills. I thrive in a fast paced environment involving diverse groups of people
(clients). I approach my work with determination and a sense of humor. I pride myself on my ability to recognize
and articulate a distinct voice for every project. So yes, a classroom teacher can thrive in corporate America.
My professional background has given me transferable skills that you need such as:
I am Goal Oriented: I produce results; my students have either exceeded or mastered the state test
•
(AIMS) every year.
I am a Master Communicator: I am able to create powerful presentations using tools such as: SMART
•
Notebook, PowerPoint and Web Design.
I am a Problem Solver: As CEO of my classroom, I had to juggle projects and deadlines, make decisions
•
driven by data, and utilize the best teaching strategies,
I am a Motivator: I can take 30 uncooperative individuals and inspire them to master some 100
•
standards in 4 content areas.
My enclosed resume outlines my experience and skills. I look forward to meeting you in person so that we can
explore how I can make a positive contribution to ATG Marketing. I think you will find my experience to be a
valuable asset to your company.
Thank you for your valued time,
Warm Regards,
Lisa Blood 480 206
