RE: Human Resources Manager

Dear Hiring Executives:

This letter is to express my interest in the position of Human Resources Manager.

I have enclosed my resume for your review. As you can see I have over fifteen (15) years of human resources management experience in both union and non-union environments. I also have an extensive employment law background. My experience covers managing all areas of administration, training, succession planning, strategic planning, budget management, payroll, ADP, Kronos, policy writing, standard operating procedure writing, job description writing, day-to-day operational management, compensations, benefits, HIB VISA, L1 VISA, COBRA, HIPAA, OSHA, FMLA, ISO 14000, ISO 9001, OHSAS 18001 and all federal and state labor laws.

Hiring the right Human Resources Manager can have an immediate positive effect on your bottom line through savings on EEOC complaints, Workers Compensation cases, Employee Retention, Recruiting and Benefits.

In my most recent position one of my major duties was managing Safety and Workers’ Compensation. Since I took over the role from our Safety Compliance Officer who retired five years ago our costs for accidents have decreased by 90 % through the Safety Plan I created and implemented. Creating a positive and safe atmosphere has boosted morale and created more employee participation.

I am looking for a long-term position where my skills, education and training will benefit and blend with your current well-established management team. I look forward to speaking with you to arrange a personal interview. Please contact me at your earliest convenience at 571-***-****.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Jeanne Johnson
