Overview:

To begin, I'd like you to know that I am not looking for just a job. Rather, I a
m seeking a rewarding and challenging career with a highly regarded business. I
have worked continually in positions with very sensitive and challenging deadli
nes, all of which required attention to detail and constant communication both i
nternally and externally. I love numbers and multitasking. Using these skills,
I'd like to prove to be a valuable asset to the company. I look forward to bein
g part of a team and playing a part of the company's continued success.
In addition to the skills listed above, I also have a Business Management degree
along with many years of inventory accounting experience. I have experience us
ing all Microsoft Office programs and several business database systems. My sen
se of responsibility, problem-solving skills and ability to "catch on" quickly h
as allowed me to elevate to new opportunities in my past positions.
Enclosed is my resume for further review. I look forward to the opportunity to
meet you in the near future. Your valuable time and consideration are greatly a
ppreciated.

Sincerely,

Lori A Holthaus
