Dear Company Recruiter,

Thank you for the opportunity to express my desire to work for your company. I will bring to this position a strong work ethic, with a discipline to detail. My resume also reflects my ability to learn new skills, and apply them to the tasks at hand. I have spent the past forty years building on these experiences, the body of my work. I learned skills in customer service, banking, accounting, office administration and bookkeeping at a retail and wholesale level, on a foundation of a Liberal Arts Degree.

During the pandemic, I was a full time family caregiver, nurse and companion, skills I learned fast and applied. This period of time ended my outside working career for a short period, but it did not end my learning. I listed that experience on my resume because that is how life happened. Both of my parents have passed away, and I am a better person for caring for the needs of a loved one. It was an intense period working through illnesses, hospital stays and death.

The whole of my life experiences will delivery patience to listen, to serve and deliver, and yes, learn.

Thank you again for this opportunity to tell my story beyond an assessment and a resume. I am excited to speaking to you, and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Donna Johnson
