Ms. Carolyn Myers
Human Resources Director
Healthtronics, Inc.
500 Research Parkway
Portland, OR 97207

Dear Ms. Myers:

I am writing in response to your advertisement in today's Oregonian for a Regional Human Resources Administrator. By description, the position's required skills reflect my own career development.

According to your job profile, you need a human resources generalist in the electronics industry.  As the current personnel assistant for Western Electronics, I have a broad background in the following human resources activities:

              • Wage and salary administration
              • Benefits administration
              • Labor contract negotiation and administration
              • Hiring and outplacement
              • Cooperative Education internship coordination
              • Affirmative action and EEO guidelines

My prior work at Lesco, Inc., provided me with practical experience in design, performance measurement, and succession planning.  In addition, I have held positions in local ASPA and ASTD chapters.

As this letter and my resume indicate, I am a dedicated professional with the skills and experience necessary for a human resource generalist in a growing industry.  I am available to discuss this position at your earliest convenience; please call me at (360) 555-3333 or e-mail me at dbrown@yahoo.com.

Sincerely,

Douglas A. Brown
