To Whom It May Concern:
Please accept my resume for consideration of a part-time HR position in Long Island, Manhattan, Queens or Brooklyn.
I have tremendous experience as a hands-on department manager with particular emphasis in recruitment, employee relations, legal compliance, performance management and development of HR policies.

I am action oriented and adept at working in a fast paced, stressful and demanding environment where quality & customer service must exceed company expectations. I have always been a team player who is widely trusted as someone who uses sound judgment. I pride myself on having strong customer service and problem solving skills.
