Dear Ms. Yu:
Your advertisement for an HR assistant fits my qualifications perfectly, and I am writing to express my interest in and
enthusiasm for the position.
After completing a business degree from Rutgers University in May, I enrolled in a human resource development program to
further enhance my credentials in the field.
Course highlights include: Leadership in an Organizational Setting, Performance & Task Analysis in Human Resource
Development, and Technology in HR Settings.
Based on your description of the ideal candidate, I also offer:
- A solid educational foundation in organizational development, employee training and development skills and knowledge
of how to use technology to improve individual/organizational performance.
- A proven ability to build rapport with individuals from all cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.
- A track record of excellent performance as a part-time/summer employee concurrent with full-time college
enrollment.
- Technical proficiency in database programs (including Oracle) and MS Office Suite.
If you agree that my services would be valuable to ABC Company, I would very much like to meet in person to learn more
about your HR support needs. Please feel free to call me at (555) 555-5555 or email at josh@somedomain.com.

Sincerely yours,
