ALEXANDER GOMEZ

*** **** **** ****** *** *** NEW YORK, NY 10025 646-***-**** addyve@r.postjobfree.com Dear Hiring Manager:

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and express my interest in the position available within your firm. I am confident that my education and professional experience make me a perfect fit for the position you are looking to fill. I have prior management experience as well as more than 18 years of experience in customer relations, sales, technical support, office support, administrative support, and guest services to bring to your organization. My experience in the U.S. Armed Forces has also provided me with strong moral values, excellent interpersonal skills, interfacing professionalism, and I also understand how to coincide innovative production methods in order to procure company objectives. Among my other talents are believing in the benefit of working as part of a team, priding myself on being able to effectively communicate with internal colleagues and clearly articulating vital information to external clients. Furthermore, by being bilingual through my fluency in English and Spanish, I am able to cross-communicate company ideals and policies to a wide range of potential clients.

In addition, I have a natural ability to learn quickly, while becoming familiar with company-specific technology, software, and other processes within a relatively short amount of time. Attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and being an overall self-starter are all abilities I can effectively execute within a high volume, fast-paced environment. My curriculum at Valencia consisted of Political Science courses, writing intensives at LaGuardia Community College, and I am a recipient of the nationally recognized Peter Rondonine Award for Excellence in the Field of Journalism. I was also placed on the Dean’s list for the 2006 fall semester at LaGuardia Community College in New York City. At Baruch, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science. I currently attend the George Washington University’s Graduate School of Political Management

(Online) primarily located in Washington, D.C. with emphasis on Political Campaign Strategies, Legislative Policy Implementation, Tactical Social Media Research, and Constituent Resourcing. Please notice that I have been a full-time student from the spring of 2006 until the spring of 2010 and again from the fall of 2012 until the spring of 2014 while actively pursuing my college degrees. These circumstances will explain any gaps in employment due to my usual employment status as a seasonal or temporary employee while tenaciously maintaining a full-time college course load. I am eager to show you that I will be a great addition to your team. My enclosed resume will further describe some of my qualifications and credentials. Once you have had the opportunity to review it, please contact me at a suitable time so that we may meet in person and discuss the experience that I can contribute. Thank you for considering my application and I look forward to meeting you.

Sincerely,

Alexander Gomez
