Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express interest in the open position at the esteemed organization. My unique blend of strengths - Context, Developer, Focus, Discipline, and Empathy, as identified by the Clifton Strengths assessment, combined with my accomplishments, make me a strong candidate for this role.
My strength in Context has allowed me to appreciate the importance of diversity and inclusion (D&I) in an organization. Recognizing this, I initiated a D&I Council within my previous organization. This led to significant improvements in our hiring and development practices, including the removal of the self-disclosure field from job applications, which has fostered a more inclusive environment.
As a Developer, I am passionate about nurturing talent and helping individuals reach their full potential. This passion led me to establish a mentorship program, which has significantly improved career development within the organization.
My Focus and Discipline strengths have enabled me to influence the consideration of diverse candidates for upper management and executive positions. Through the creation of interview guides, panels, and recommendations, we have been able to ensure that our leadership reflects the diversity of our team.
Lastly, my strength in Empathy allows me to understand and share the feelings of others, a quality that I believe is crucial in any role and will bring a positive impact to your company.
I am excited about the opportunity to bring these strengths and experiences to your organization and am confident that I can contribute positively to your team.
I am writing to give my most enthusiastic recommendation for Brandon Scott. He would be a great asset to any team.
I worked with Brandon Scott at YP Marketing Solutions. While he officially carried the title of Media Consultant, in reality he held together our whole division. Brandon’s encyclopedic knowledge of SEO, SEM, Web Design, people skills and enthusiasm are unmatched. I have never met anyone with such meticulous organizational skills and sheer ability to just "get things done."
Brandon has a keen eye for detail and the ability to juggle the needs and projects of many people at once. He was truly invested in the work of everyone at our organization, and in the success of the company as a whole.
It goes without saying that Brandon Scott would have an immediate and positive impact as a media consultant at any company. However, his skills are such that I'm confident he'd excel at higher-level positions, such as business developer, manager and/or supervisor.
Brandon Scott is bright and capable and a pleasure to work with. You would be doing yourself a disservice by choosing anyone other than Brandon.
Thank You,
Christopher Snell
