To Whom It May Concern:
I am confident that I can be an asset to your company and would appreciate your reviewing the enclosed resume that depicts my skills.
Accepting challenges is the foundation of my life experiences and something I do with confidence. You will find me a totally committed individual with pride in being direct, spontaneous and communicative. I can maintain records, perform numerical calculations with accuracy and I need little direction to complete assigned tasks. These are the qualities that make an excellent Accountant.
From my past experiences and education, I have acquired analytical techniques that are needed to complete assignments with proficiency. My leadership skills are developed and have allowed me to interact with diverse populations. I am a motivator and organizer and these skills have enabled me to effectively defuse problem situations with customers as well as co-workers using tact, thus creating a long-term client base. Teamwork is another skill I have acquired and one I know is necessary for organizational cohesiveness. Over the years, I have had to establish daily operational bases for projects/programs and provide the direction to ensure the progress and deadlines were met.
I will appreciate the opportunity to meet and further discuss my qualifications and an open position. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Brandy J. Carey
