Dear Kris
Your ad for a Data Entry clerk position caught my attention as I prepare to begin my
exploration of a new and exciting career. I have worked steadily to update my skills and
have gained valuable experience which has equipped me to present your company with
advantages others may not offer.
For example, while I was attending RCC I worked as a student intern for the State of
Oregon where I completed more than 600 hours of credited work experience. Through
the CWE program I gained valuable experience answering phones, performing data entry,
working as a file clerk, and referring clients to community resources both in person and
via telephone. The skill set I developed has served me well in other jobs I’ve held.
For instance spent five years working in the retail industry. My primary job was stocking
freight, which included entering numerical data into a hand held device. As well as
searching our inventory for customer requested items. I also provided coverage in the
inventory and electronics departments as requested. My customer service skills would be
a benefit to your company in that I’ve become adept at calming angry customers.
With my combination of education, experience and my positive attitude I believe my
skills would be a good fit for your company. I look forward to meeting with you in
person I welcome the chance to discuss openings at your company.
If you will contact me at (541) 218-7160, we can schedule a meeting.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
David M. Smith
