To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to express my interest in joining your company as the new Front Office Manager. It has always been my desire to work at an organization that will allow me to grow not only as a professional but also as a person. I feel that I am capable of fulfilling, and exceeding, the requirements of this position with an extraordinary amount of commitment and exuberance. For me being a professional means possessing strong leadership skills, excellent communication skills, and the ability to create impactful relationships with staff, supervisors, and customers. Further, I am of the belief that few persons understand the importance of interpersonal relationships in business. Having been a member of an organization’s leadership team I made it my duty to make an impact not only on my team but also the customers on a regular basis. The possession of the rare gift to communicate with all persons from all walks of life is a skill that I pride, and wish to cultivate. As a leader it is imperative that your impact is one that resonates throughout the company.

To be an effective leader also means having the ability to generating growth within the organization, through the acquisition and retention of quality staff and loyal customers. This is a skill that cannot be learnt in a textbook but rather is engrained into ones personality and is thankfully one with which I have been blessed. My ability to assist in the restructuring process of The Salvation Army Family Thrift Stores, by eliminating all outstanding debts, reducing operational cost by 15% and maintaining a profitability margin of 10% is a testament to my leadership and visionary abilities. However, creating lasting partnerships is a testament to the bonds that can be made with a smile and an open heart and that is where my passion truly lies. I have proven that I have the ability to exceed expectations and feel I would be a great asset to your organization. The skills and knowledge I have attained will allow me to not only meet the needs and high standards of your organization but exceed them. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Clyde J. Wilkinson
