Statement of Interest

If given the opportunity to work with your company, I am confident I will excel. I’ve been in business since my early 20s and have always been a hardworking entrepreneur. Over the years, I’ve gained valuable experience both professionally and personally—lessons that have shaped my strong work ethic, resilience, and commitment to excellence.

I know what it takes to build something from the ground up, and I bring that same energy and dedication into every role I take on. Please don’t let the fact that I’m graduating this August discourage you—if anything, it shows my ongoing commitment to growth and development.

Even if I’m not considered for a traditional employee role right away, I’d love for you to take a chance on me as a recruiter. I’m reliable, driven, and deeply dedicated to my work. With my background, passion for people, and entrepreneurial mindset, I’m confident I can bring tremendous value to your team.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
