RE: Collections Manager
To whom it may concern:
I am submitting my resume to you for consideration of the Collections
Manager position posted on Post Job Free February 12th, 2015.
I believe that I would be a good fit for Lakeshore Management as I have
spent the last 8 years managing the collection activities of a $626MM
portfolio for KEMBA Financial Credit Union. As you can see by my
attached resume, my background aligns nicely with your needs. I have a
proven track record of the supervision of a portfolio, resolving both
internal and external customer discrepancies as well as finding win/win
scenarios for both the customer and the company. For this, I am
requesting at least a salary of $65,000 with the opportunity for bonuses
based on performance and production.
My wife and I are looking to relocate to the Central Florida market in the
next several weeks so she can continue pursuing her career with the Disney
Corporation. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss bringing my
diverse skill set to Lakeshore Management so I can assist you with meeting
your needs and providing Lakeshore with their best possible return.
I look forward to discussing this opportunity further with you. I can be
reached at ******@*****.*** or by phone at 614-***-****.
Thank you for your consideration,
Adrian Higgins
