Dear Human Resource Department:
I have previous experience completing copious paperwork, maintaining
employee records, accounting, financing, and assembling reports about
company productivity. I feel the skills I have gained working in Human
Resources, Management, Accounting, Not-for-Profit, and Financing, would
make me a wonderful candidate for a position within your company. Along
with human resources, business administration, and organizational skills, I
consider myself to be very outgoing and welcoming. I am comfortable in
speaking roles and taking charge of teams when necessary, as well as being
a team player. There is no doubt within me that I would provide great
service to customers and employees alike. In my current position I work
with MS Office Suite, company-specific software, Internet, and E-mail; and
have no reservations about my ability to transfer those skills to working
within your organization.
My intention of entering the business arena was to grow and learn
professionally, as well as add value to my employer; both of which I feel I
could do with your firm. I have a personal commitment to professional
excellence, and am motivated to grow and acquire skills as I develop my
career. I would love the opportunity to do that growing within your
organization, helping in any way I can.
If possible I would like to schedule an interview with you to further
discuss my qualifications and all the experience I can bring to your
organization. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at
603-***-****. I look forward to meeting you to further discuss employment
opportunities.
Best Regards,
Nelson N. Santana
