Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to express my interest in the HR Recruiter position your company recently advertised. With slightly over 4 years’ experience and a Bachelor’s of Science in Human Resource, I believe that I will be the best fit for the job. I am a highly organized, thorough and a motivated professional. I possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a high level of attention to detail. I consider myself to be the total package.
Working at Edward Jones Investment accorded me with the necessary skill set to traverse greater heights. The Company offered me an opportunity to attend several career fairs where I obtained in-depth knowledge concerning college recruitment strategies. Through the fairs I was also fortunate to interact and establish strong relationships with multiple institutions. If employed I am ready to use my networks to aid the company in recruiting the tops minds available all across the nation.
Through hard work, commitment and determination I have been able to secure job opportunities for hundreds of young brilliant minds who are innovative, inventive and creative. My approach involves making potential employees feel excited, motivated and inspired to work for the company. Being an innovator myself, I appreciate the fact that your company has heavily invested in the Research and Innovation sector as it attempts to keep up with this changing technological world. I resonate with the Company’s mission which is to be leading service provider in the entire universe. Together through rallying our efforts together we are without a doubt going to achieve this vision.
In addition to my technical skills, I possess excellent written and verbal communication skills, and I recognize the importance of these when it comes to communicating with other team members, management and clients. My time management and task prioritization skills are excellent, and I enjoy working with an enthusiastic team who are keen to exceed company expectations.
BJC will find a simple, flexible, informed and innovative Human Resource Recruiter in me. I hope to have an opportunity to speak to you further about how I can be an asset to your team.
Sincerely,
