Attention: Human Resources

As a hardworking individual who is looking for a new career challenge in the Sacramento area, I would very much appreciate an opportunity to share my qualifications and experience with your company in the hopes of becoming a dedicated member of your management team.

From 1994 to the present, I have been a valued and reliable employee of Continental Airlines in Houston, Texas at their North Houston Reservation Call Center. For the first 11 years, I was one of Continental’s top sales representatives, and 3 years ago, I was promoted to the complaint department, where I served as the Customer Care Manager until the present time.

Due to the rising cost of jet-fuel, which has caused a budgetary crisis within the airlines, I was recently furloughed for an indefinite period of time, which is why I decided to move back to Northern California to seek new employment.

I have a B.A. in Journalism & English from CSUS (California State University at Sacramento) and possess a wide range of experience and many useful skills. I am a competent writer, and have a well-honed aptitude for office management. In addition, I am familiar with most computer software applications and am proficient with Mac, Windows XP, and most recently Windows Vista operating systems.

I also have much experience with recent Microsoft Office applications, such as Word, Excel, Access, Outlook, and many others. I learn new tasks and computer programs quickly, and I communicate well with co-workers and the general public.

If offered an opportunity to become a employee of your company, I believe that I could be a real asset. Please allow me an interview so that we might meet and discuss this possibility.

Sincerely, John H. Jackson
