LETTER 5-13: ENTRY LEVEL—STUDENT
Director, Human Resources
P.O. Box 1000
City Times
Wynfair, PA 09876
To the Director of Human Resources:
Enclosed with this letter is my resume, which details my education,
work experience, and computer capabilities—all important criteria
in your search to fill the entry-level position that you advertised.
Allow me to introduce the person with whom you and your
colleagues will work, should you choose to interview and hire me.
I possess strong moral and ethical principles, which led me to put in
long, hard hours at school and part-time jobs in order to succeed in a
challenging educational environment. These values also motivate me to
perform diligently and loyally to contribute to my employer’s
profitability. Unlike others, I do not expect to begin as a Vice President.
I know that it takes commitment, dedication, and intelligence to rise
within a firm, all of which I offer you.
As one of six children, I also possess an active sense of humor, which
has been useful in defusing difficult situations. I have the patience to
see an assignment through to completion. I am comfortable delivering
presentations to a group, working as part of a team, and helping others
succeed.
It would be an honor to meet with you personally to discover more
about the opening at your firm and how I can assist your organization in
its growth. Please contact me at the address or phone number listed
above. I will make myself available at your convenience.
Thank you.

Sincerely,

Noreen Schimmer
