Summary

I am a detail oriented professional who takes great pride in a job done correctly and efficiently. I believe my ability to learn very quickly and apply my knowledge in real time will make me an asset to your company. I have been working at The Times for 26 years now and I'm looking to settle into a career I can relate to more personally.

I own and operate a chicken farm and would be a great addition to the team at the St. John or Merrillville locations as I live nearby. You can often find me helping customers with chicken questions and offering suggestions for purchases in your store.

Although I am seeking a part-time position to maintain focus on my chicken breeding business, I will give 100% of my skills and professional abilities while I am there. I have every confidence that I will accomplish and exceed any and all requirements of me if hired onto your team.

chicken farming

 I own and operate a premium chicken breeding business called Cedar Point Poultry.  I offer dual purpose breeds used for both eggs, meat and 4H projects.  My main focus is encouraging self sustainability and self reliance. I started the business 3 years ago with a loan from my 401K and personal loans to outfit my 35 x 40 pole barn with flooring, fencing, feeders and waterers. I also used this money to purchase premium eggs for hatching over the 1st year of operation. Building and refining my chicken breeds for the best feather type, temperament and resilience. My goal is to get the business to a point where it pays for itself and if I can actually make a profit doing something I absolutely love, then that is an amazing plus for me. 

  My hope is that I can work for your company and you can give me the much needed time and mental space to further my business. As I continue to grow, in turn, using Tractor Supply Company to feed my farm. If you look up my account, you will see how many purchases I make every week currently.  By bringing me aboard, you would be helping a small business farmer to finally achieve true happiness in my professional life. 

 Not to mention, everyone at the St. John location already loves me. :) 


Sincerely, 

     Sabrina Tamez
