To whom it may concern,
I am writing to you because I am very much interested in the position that you have available. I have tons of knowledge and experience in Microsoft Office, customer service, money handling, warehouse and greenhouse operations, managing a team, meeting and exceeding production and machine operating. I am currently taking classes at Penn Foster – Online to obtain my high school diploma and later, my certification in Logistics. I wanted to test my work skills and knowledge so I decided to take the Georgia Work Ready assessment. This assessment assisted in the improvement of my ability to perform my job duties and educated me on new approaches that I can utilize in the workplace.
I am very excited and eager for an opportunity to expand my opportunities as a professional.
As a former Line Leader for Horizon Growers, I have built a structured and safe environment utilizing my skills and abilities as a framework for keeping my work up to par by the expectations of the company.
Excellent ability to manage a team, while meeting rigorous performance standards and demanding deadlines and schedules.
I am a very hardworking, dedicated, driven and dependable individual. A major strength that I would bring to the team is my successful experience and knowledge that I attained from my previous positions. With my strong communication, organizational and coordinating skills, I am confident that I can be a valuable asset to this team. I feel that my strong background in taking the lead in the office, ability to assimilate new ideas and my dedication to my company and myself would be of great benefit as well. I strongly believe that we all should possess the knowledge and skills it takes to perform our job duties to best of our ability.
My resume, which I have enclosed for your review, contains additional details about my professional accomplishments and experience. I would like to welcome the opportunity to interview with your selection team and I also look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you for your time and consideration.
With best regards,
Latasha Baugh
