I read your advertisement for an open position at your company with great interest and enthusiasm, as my skills and qualifications match your requirements for this position. Therefore, I am submitting my resume for your review and consideration. Please allow me to explain briefly the contribution I would make with your company.
I am aware that you seek candidates who are enthusiastic and who demonstrate initiative. While working at Walgreens, I am often told by management how I work quickly and efficiently. While completing a major in Business Administration and a minor in Marketing at Lewis University, I took courses in organizational behavior, strategic management, and business communication. With my experience and academic preparation, I am confident that I would be an ideal candidate for this position. I am also confident my smile and great customer service will serve your customer oriented company well.
I would bring to your company not only these skills, but also a positive, cooperative attitude that I have displayed throughout my career. I maintain calm under pressure and adapt to meet the unique needs of each organization.
Again, my resume will detail the required skills and background you seek. I would welcome the opportunity for an interview at your convenience, and I thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
