Dear Recruiter:
I am extremely interested in speaking with you about my ability to lead within your organization. I have had experience in a business environment with numerous employee groups / departments.
I am known as a confident leader who is decisive, takes action, is articulate and an excellent facilitator. My background has provided me with valuable experiences in strong organizations, managing and directing organizational effectiveness programs, departmental functions, and employee benefits/compensation in fast-paced, change-oriented cultures. I have 10+ years of experience, most of that being in the senior human resource position at my location. I have spent 4 years in a director’s role, and worked in companies with multiple locations for both operations and sales.
Since joining the workforce, I have accepted career advancement opportunities as they arose because of needing to remain in Sioux City, IA. I now have the flexibility to relocate if necessary, and I am looking to become a long-term contributor in a team that I can grow with. Today's economic environment has had an effect on my current employer and they face a very uncertain future. Again, I look very forward to having an opportunity to coach and direct, and drive towards excellence through strategic support of the company objectives.
Have a tremendous day!
