Dear Sir/Madam:

In the interest of exploring career opportunities, I have enclosed my resume for your review. It will provide you with specific details concerning my professional employment history and education.

As you will note, I offer twenty years plus, of experience in office management. I've acquired many more years of experience, but have only documented, for you, the past twenty. This background has provided me with excellent skills in all types of manual and computerized accounting systems. I am proficient in accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing, collections, payroll and General Ledger management. I also have expertise in administrative operations, customer service, sales and purchasing. In addition, I work well both independently and within fast-paced, team-oriented environments.

As my resume indicates, I was a small business owner for a short period of time. Therefore, I have come to realize the value of a qualified and dedicated employee. You will find that I am honest, professional, dependable, discreet, and quick to learn in unfamiliar situations.

I am confident my knowledge and qualifications will make me a productive asset to your organization. I would appreciate the opportunity for a personal interview to discuss your needs and objectives, along with my abilities to fulfill them. Please contact me to arrange a meeting at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Angela Noakes

EXPERIENCE:

SEDONA CREEK HOME & GARDEN, Poplar Bluff, MO 07/2007 - 05/2008

Owner

Sedona Creek Home & Garden was a beautiful business - a combination nursery, gift shop (including pools and spas), flower shop, landscape design and maintenance. My husband ran the nursery, landscaping and landscape maintenance portion of the business while I ran all other aspects of the business. This included accounting, staff management, inventory control and all other aspects of managing a business of that size. Although the business acquired a gross income of $273,000.00 in the first 9 months of operation, we began to notice right away that the economy in Poplar Bluff could not support this business. Due to the economic climate of the area and with no foreseeable improvement in sight, we determined that we had no choice but to close the business and relocate back to our home in the St. Louis area.
