Human Resources Representative
Excellent Business Corporation

Dear Mr. Cat:

I am writing in response to the Human Resources Associate position posted in the March 19, 2001 edition of the Chicago Tribune. A copy of my resume and reference list is enclosed for your review and evaluation.

Although my background has been largely in retail and customer service, I have acquired several transferable skills that would be beneficial for the position of Human Resources Associate. In my present position as an Assistant Manager at a bookstore, I have supervised the activities of a team of employees, regularly trained new recruits, and have provided consistent and excellent customer service. I have also coordinated employee schedules, handled employee disputes in a professional manner, and completed and filed necessary hiring paperwork in a timely manner. On a personal level, I am innovative, creative, work well both alone and in teams, and am comfortable in a leadership position.

In addition, I have also completed a Bachelor of Arts degree from Northeastern Illinois University in Human Resource Development. My education has included coursework in such subjects as Principles and Practices in Human Resource Development, Instructional Techniques and Technology and Dynamics of Working in Groups and Individuals.

Enclosed you will find my resume for your review. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 773.442.4680

Sincerely,



Samuel Kennedy
