Dear Human Resources,
During my accounting career, I have had the opportunity to work for several industries. I have
experience in oil and gas, law firms, transportation, construction, restaurants, insurance, non-
profits, and agriculture. I have performed all functions necessary to account for any business. I
am a fast learner, and I enjoy a challenge. I have dealt with leadership of employees that I hired,
as well with leadership of staff hired through the companies I served. I have Bachelors in
accounting, and a Master’s in Education. I am a CPA candidate. I believe I am an awesome
employee. I never call in sick. I am 15 minutes early. I am willing to fill any role necessary. I am
a great choice in a visual position, and have great communication skills, attention to detail,
follow through, and dedication.
I currently live in Carlsbad, NM. I would like an opportunity to relocate to Texas. If offered a
job, I can report after filling a two weeks’ notice with my current employer.
Thank you,
Melisa A. Lindsay
