This letter is to express my interest in the content librarian position. I have many years of experience exporting/importing data from different database or software packages. Based on my work experience and knowledge, I am confident that my skills and experience are transferable to your organization’s needs. As an additional note, the job description is comparable to my background in a document management or law firm setting.

Throughout my work history, I was able to save time by being efficient, organized, and timely in retrieving subject area data for specific projects. I have experience in record management files. I am proficient in Microsoft Office suite of products (Word, Excel, Access, Outlook, etc.). Organization skills have proven to be an invaluable asset in tracking data information professionals require. I am a helpful detail-oriented proofreader and a quick study of software packages.

Respectfully yours,

Patricia Longenecker
