RE: Employment Cover Letter
Good day,
I would like to express my interest in applying my expertise within your firm.
I have a background in financial program/project management and account financial performance reporting. Additionally, I have experience in government client account management and contract support. My strength areas are in communications and decision-making, with focused attention to detail and accuracy.
I retired in January 2018, and after enjoying some well-earned time off I'm motivated and ready to get back in the workforce in a different yet challenging way.
I am excited at the prospect of applying my talents to assist in accomplishing the mission objectives of your organization. Please contact me to discuss how my skill set and work experience might add value to your team.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Samuel A. Zanders
