To whom it may concern:

I am submitting my resume in response to your online add with Glassdoor. I am confident that my professional hands-on experience and many qualifications will be exactly what are needed for this job. This is exactly the type of position I have been looking for and I know that my seventeen years of progressive experience would be a significant asset in this environment.

My experience is relevant and extensive as described in the enclosed resume. What my resume cannot illustrate are the intangibles that set me apart from other candidates. I have a tremendous need to please. I possess a calm attitude and superb understanding of trust with personal information. I have a talent for organizing and helping other people’s lives run as smoothly as possible. If you are looking for someone who is positive, personable and able to perform under pressure, look no further.

My objective is to establish a time when we can meet to discuss how my talent, professionalism, and enthusiasm will help make your life and the family's life as stress free as possible.

Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Sincerely,

Tadia Skinner
