My varied customer service and training experience, makes me an ideal candidate for the position posted.
Much of my previous work experience has been in Public Relations / Customer Service, and the tools and techniques I have learned from this industry apply directly to the skills corporate trainers need -- the skills you seek -- solving problems, developing rapport, organizing, meeting goals, and managing groups.
I know I can be a key player on your team, and I would like the chance to prove that to you.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Donald Mills
