Summary
Dear Hiring Manager:
In response to the employment opportunity, I am submitting my resume for your review. My past
work experiences have taught me to be diligent, time-oriented and an organized worker. I am
always willing to learn new skills sets to further me in my career. I strive to be the self-starter
and manage my time well within my work performance. I feel I can provide all the things asked
of me and then some. Being a Jill/Jack of all trades thus-far in my professional life has helped
me adapt and excel in the workplace. I can take on the duties of a manager, or be in the position
to listen, learn and follow knowledge feedback that would further benefits my career. This
characteristic of being flexible I feel would make me an invaluable member of any team.
With a background such as this, I am sure that your household/organization would be able to use
my skills to their utmost. However, a face-to-face interview would allow me to demonstrate my
character in a more personable manner. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Respectfully,
Jennifer Whipple
