Attention: Recruiter
Dear Sir or Madam:
Please find my resume enclosed for your review and consideration.
For the past ten years, I have specialized in building applications
in Excel VBA, in particular in forecasting and budgeting,
supplemented by database applications. My extensive business
experience in the financial planning and analysis field gives me a
distinct advantage in the realm of both accounting and finance.
Because of both my proven technical expertise as well as my
extensive experience as a financial analyst and manager, I have been
of major assistance to my past employers and current clients, and I
feel confident I can be of great assistance to your firm.
I might add that I am thoroughly familiar with VB and Oracle and
proficient in Access as well. I can aide your firm or clients by not
only helping to understand the financial situation, structure and
requirements but also provide the tools required to do this analysis
on a regular basis. I have US work experience at Guardian Life
Insurance in Bethlehem P.A. and Chelsea House Publishers of Broomall,
P.A. using a TN visa where no sponsorship is required.
I am as equally comfortable working independently or gainfully
employed by your corporation. I thank you for your consideration and
I look forward to discussing how I can contribute to the growth and
profitability of your firm. I am always available for a next-day
interview.
Sincerely,
