Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to apply for the position of Assistant General Manager Trainee. My Bachelor's Degree in Public Administration as well as my varied experiences in the transportation industry makes me an excellent candidate for this position.

I have spent the last 12 years working in the trucking industry. This includes seven years as an Operations Manager and three years as a Sales Account Manager for Koch NationaLease. I was responsible for inventory planning, negotiating prices, purchasing, expansion of services, account retention, record keeping, ensuring quality customer service, and staff management. I am confident that my work experience as well as my commitment to professional success would be an asset to this position.

Use of technology is critical in the 21st century to communicate and make informed decisions. I have the knowledge necessary to use hardware and software for inputting, organizing, analyzing, and communicating data effectively in writing, on the phone, and in person. I am an organized individual who is able to think critically and analytically, multitask, problem solve, and complete paper work accurately and on time.

I am approachable and personable. I get along with and enjoy my coworkers, clients, and vendors. Through my role as an Operations Manager and a Lacrosse Referee, I have developed a strong sense of responsibility, effective interpersonal and communication skills, understanding of team building, and experience in problem identification and resolution. It is through effective leadership that a group of people becomes a powerful work team.

To conclude, I am highly motivated and would make an excellent employee. Please contact me at 612-***-**** if you have any questions or would like to set up an interview. I appreciate your time and consideration.
