Dear Sir or Madam:
My name is Amanda Wilson and I am writing to ask that I be considered for Manager at Merit Corporation. I
was directed to this posting from the online job search engine at www.monster.com.
While I have no direct experience as a manager, I feel that my education and previous work experience has
equipped me with the skills necessary to excel in this position. I currently hold a Master’s of Business
Education and a Bachelor’s of Business Administration from the University of West Georgia. I have spent the
last seven years teaching high school students through the Small Business Development pathway, engaging
them in various business activities and controlling their classroom behavior.
In terms of specific skills and abilities, I have excellent computer and technology skills. I began working at the
University of West Georgia as a Graduate Assistant in the Technology Department during my Graduate studies
and more recently, have earned the Microsoft Office Specialist Certification in Word 2010, Excel 2010,
PowerPoint 2010, Outlook 2010 and Word Expert 2010. Furthermore, the students under my tutelage
currently have a 79% pass rate for the MS Word 2010 certification. Not only am I knowledgeable with Office
2010 but I am capable of instructing others to be proficient as well.
I am very excited to speak with you further about my role in your company. I am available for an interview
Monday through Friday after 3:30 pm. Feel free to call me on my cell phone at 770.684.5849 or email
Amanda.wilson@bremencs.com. Thank you in advance for meeting with me.
Sincerely,
Amanda Wilson
