Dear Human Resources,

I am writing to you in hope that I may obtain a career position in which my experience and positive attitude can achieve the goals and objectives of my team as well as the company.

Having a diverse background allows me to work well within several different fields and departments, and I strongly believe that with my managerial, logistics/technical, researching, customer service and administration experience, I would be a great asset to your team.

I have managed, supervised, instructed, planned, scheduled, organized, and coordinated special projects as well as daily tasks, and am proficient with various software packages to include: CAMP (Computerized Maintenance and Inventory Control Software, AWIS (Inventory Control Software), AMIS (Inventory Control Software), SAP, Corridor Inventory Control, MS Office Pro (MS Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Schedule), Outlook and a variety of e-mail packages, and Corporate Web-Design.
