Dear Personnel Analyst Selection Committee:
I am writing to express my interest in the Personnel Analyst position that was advertised in The Arizona Republic on April 12, 2002. I believe that my achievements, education and diverse work experience have prepared me well for the Personnel Analyst position with the City of Phoenix Personnel Department.
For the past six years, I have been a Personnel Analyst with ACME Inc. As an Analyst, I perform classification studies, assist departments in carrying out ACME's human resource policies, and research market trends in recruiting practices and compensation. Before working for ACME, Zippy Zippers hired me as a Human Resource Clerk. At Zippy Zippers, I reviewed and screened applications, processed salary increases, and answered questions from employees about their benefits.
In addition to my twelve years of experience in the field, I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Human Resource Management. I am also pursuing a Master of Business Administration degree, focusing on human resource management and labor relations.
As my resume indicates, my education and experience meet the requirements on the job announcement: at least two years of professional personnel management experience and a bachelor's degree. I am confident that I bring the right skills, experience, and talents to the position. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Ima V. Sharp
