Summary

To whom it may concern,

I am pleased to submit my application for the position at your company. I am excited for the opportunity to work at your company. My application is surely worth your attention. One of my main attributes is my great amount of experience with people. I am currently studying Psychology which gives me an insight, and a bit of of an advantage when it comes to understanding my employees. I have an understanding of business needs while also acknowledging the need for empathy for my employees which has resulted in great feedback on my management style with my employees. I have confidence that I am a strong candidate for any role in workplace.

For example, at my current building, I received a 4.22 out of 5 on our annual Employee Questionnaire. I have also implemented belts specifically for training new hires after facilitating their Onboarding and Orientation process; this has helped tremendously with our 30-day retention and engagement. I enjoy teamwork and my current position here at the ZNWO 701 Fedex Ground location has molded me into a successful manager. I love to obtain new knowledge and meeting new goals that I set for myself. Thank you for taking the time to consider my application to join your team. I am confident that I can add value, results, and positive energy. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 504-409-8254.

Best regards,

Da'Jone A. Baker
