Dear [Hiring Agent Name],

I am currently seeking a challenging career opportunity in a (INSERT TITLE OF TARGET POSITION) capacity and am submitting my resume for your review. In advance, thank you for your time and consideration. As demonstrated in the accompanying resume, my professional qualifications include the following accomplishments:

  I bring to any role years of customer-facing experience in industries such as retail, foodservice and office management. It is my hope to apply the skills I ve gleaned over the years to an Office Manager position in a customer care-focused setting.

  My experiences thus far have sharpened my training, operational planning, communication, supervision and relationship building competencies. In the next professional opportunity I take on, I hope to call upon my existing areas of strength, as well as develop new ones.

  As a professional, I have earned honors due to my diligence and positivity. While working with a jewelry retailer as an Office Manager, I was named Office Manager of the Year four times during my 17-year tenure with the company. I also earned a promotion there that allowed me to take the lead on training staff at the district level.

  In addition to my work chronology, I have certifications in both Audio Engineering and Record Production, as well as Culinary Arts. I also completed college coursework at Heartland Community College, where I maintained a 4.0 GPA. My diversity of experience educationally and professionally makes me an ideal candidate for any administrative management role.

As an employee, you will find me to be a driven team player committed to supporting you in achieving your objectives through superior performance. I am confident that I could be a valuable asset to your organization, and look forward to interviewing with you in the near future.

Sincerely,
