NAME HERE OF RECIPIENT

NAME HERE OF COMPANY

 

Dear RECIPEINT NAME:

Recent research into COMPANY NAME prompted me to immediately update my resume for your review.   Based on my knowledge of this company, I am very interested in interviewing for STATE POSITION YOU ARE SEEKING.   I am skilled at human capital development, project management and analysis, working with extreme precision and within timeframes, and ensuring that productivity and best practices are implemented to increase overall efficiency of the operation.  Perhaps most importantly, I am a creative thinker and customer-centric professional who understands how to employ imaginative solutions to increase and maintain the client base. 

 I am accustomed to integrating into various cultures and environments and am experienced at working and collaborating with others.  I bring to the table several years of formal training as well as a diverse professional background.   Additionally, I am an exceptionally hard worker and consider myself a strong team player.  My enthusiasm comes from working directly with others, but I am able to work independently with great productivity if necessary.  I am skilled at streamlining and improving processes as evidenced by my accomplishments and contributions to my past employers. 

I assimilate into new environments easily and feel that I could quickly become part of your team.  I enjoy the chance to work directly with various departmental resources in both learning and mentoring fashions. I am selectively seeking a company who is progressive thinking and in need of a professional who can make an immediate and positive impact on productivity and processes.

            After your review of my resume, I hope you will agree that this would be a mutually beneficial arrangement.  I plan to call you early next week. At that time, I can answer questions concerning my background and experience and we can discuss the desirability of an introductory meeting.  Please contact me sooner if you wish to talk before then.  I look forward to speaking with you.

Sincerely,

Yyyyyy x. yyyyyy
