I would be pleased if you would consider this covering letter and following two-page resume. Perhaps you may be interested in interviewing an experienced heath care professional, customer service assistant and former newspaper professional.
I am an RPN with excellent organizational, communication and computer skills and am currently looking for a permanent position in an fast=paced environment. I am particularly interested in the RPN position you have open and feel I have much to offer in a customer service, nursing or administration support role.
As you can tell from the following resume, I have a solid background in the medical field, journalism and public relations. I can communicate effectively with health professionals and their clients, have administration skills and am more than comfortable with a computer. I can work as part of a team or unsupervised and am adept at client teaching.
My other skills also include administrative tasks such as booking specialist appointments, reception, telephone answering, filing and registering patients on computer. I am highly organized and use the MS system on my Internet-connected home computer, have used WordPerfect, Lotus Word Pro in the past and can type. I have been employed as a nurse and a customer service assistant with a major pharmaceutical company in Mississauga. I am currently a fertility nurse. I have my own car and live in Milton. Salary is not as important to me a job satisfaction.
If you suspect I may be a candidate for a job interview, please feel free to contact me at any time to further discuss my qualifications. I thank you in advance for your time and consideration. My resume follows below.
Yours Truly,
Sue Kazimer
