Dear Human Resources Manager:
My name is Shannon LaRoux and I am interested in a position that is currently open with your company. I am a detailed oriented person with excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to multi-task. I have exceptional computer skills with several years of clerical, customer service, and accounting experience. Also I have attached my resume as a first step in exploring the possibilities of employment with your company.
Some of my work experience was at Stanley Jigs, where I worked as Office Manager. This was a temporary position. Some of my duties included: Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, payroll, shipping/ receiving, order entry for sales orders, purchase orders and work orders. In addition, I created Excel spreadsheets to track inventory control and prepared the Sales and Property Tax filing reports for the Louisiana Department of Revenue.
I have also worked at Xpedx/ International Paper, where I maintained route schedules for twelve Drivers. I was also responsible for various office tasks such as: create and maintain Excel spreadsheets, process timecards, data entry, create and distribute memos, track productivity of swing shift warehouse employees, and comply daily with Department of Transportation’s regulations. In addition, I processed the monthly logistics numbers for the Portland facility and entered them into the company’s Metrics Database. I was the Administrator for the Vendor Managed Inventory Program. I managed two Techs daily and tracked their productivity for the Operations Manager. In addition, I have an elevated level of safety awareness. I was a representative of Xpedx/ International Paper’s Safety Incident Review Committee and was also the Secretary of the Safety Core Committee. While working at Waco Scaffold, I frequently Office Manager any time the owner was out of the office. I also did Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and Payroll duties on a daily basis. I was a certified Notary Public for the State of Oregon.
As an employee with your company, I would work efficiently, while maintaining outstanding customer service. Furthermore, I am a flexible person, who is able to work independently as well as with others. Thank you for your consideration.
