To Whom It May Concern:
I am interested in obtaining a position with your company and am enclosing my resume for your review.
As a Recruiter I have been able to combine my two loves, Sales and People. Recruiting is not selling a product but selling a potential candidate to a company and that company to the candidate. I feel that my 5+ years of high volume recruiting along with my willingness to learn would be a great addition to you organization.
My ability to multi-task effectively has enabled me to provide exceptional customer service on a consistent basis. My experience cold calling, direct sourcing, networking, Internet searches, database searches has helped me to be successful in each position I have held.
Thank you for taking the time to read my resume. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss my qualifications in more detail. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
Regards,
Heidi McAllister
