Dear Lance:
I am writing to you as a fellow graduate of Hofstra University (class of 2000) and
would sincerely appreciate any insight you could provide me into McClain Companies.
I have been working in sales for almost five years, and I am now looking to
transition into corporate human resources at a company such as yours.
Although successful in my sales career, I have realized the aspects of my work I find
most rewarding are all in HR-related functions. The following offers a few highlights
of my qualifications:
• Solid foundation in HR affairs: As senior account executive, I have
been responsible for a number of HR functions, including recruiting,
interviewing, hiring and training new employees. A quick learner of
complex concepts and legal issues, I am eager to broaden these
competencies.
• Dynamic communication style: I am adept in building relationships,
consensus and a shared sense of purpose. I am known for my ability to
quickly establish trust with employees, mediate disputes and motivate
others into action.
• Experience in corporate training: A constant throughout my sales
career has been my passion for the design and delivery of staff-
development programs. Comfortable and experienced giving both large-
and small-group presentations, I have conducted hundreds of training
seminars for diverse audiences across all organizational levels.
If you know of anyone within McClain Companies who might be looking for someone
with my qualifications, I would be very grateful for your referral. Thanks in advance
for any assistance you may be able to provide.
Kind regards,
Betty Hernandez
