To Whom It May Concern:
Please accept this as my application for the position(s) Buyer, Procurement Specialist, or Purchasing Agent that you may have open at the present time. I have attached a copy of my resume, skills, recommendations, and references.
To tell you a little about myself; most of the positions I have held have been in the Buyer-Materials Management, and Administrative/Executive Assistant area.
I possess very good organization skills and have high phone and public relations etiquette. I learn computer systems easily and have always loved computers. I find it easy to assist, and get along with people, but I also enjoy working independently. My versatility and flexibility make it possible for me to handle multiple tasks and when unsure about prioritizing I am not afraid to ask. My 33 years of experience has given me the capabilities of problem solving, common sense, and the ability to keep a sense of humor. I have 23 years of experience as Buyer (15years in Government-NASA Aerospace-Planes, 2 State of Texas, and 6 years in Manufacturing / Petrochemical,; at Union Carbide, Amoco and Quality Assured Label). For my hard work I have received some Spot Awards and awards directly from NASA as well.
I have continuously proven myself to be a valuable asset and that’s why I feel I am a good candidate for your team. I would appreciate the opportunity of speaking with you at you convenience. More recommendations and references are available up on request. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
Looking forward to your reply with plenty of optimism.
Respectfully yours,
Paula R. Kruschik
