Mr. Acuff

Available Immediately: Entry Level Accountant Ready for New Challenges

This morning, I was very excited to read your resumel.com posting for an entry level accountant opening. During the last ten years, I have had the privilege to learn about this field from the ground up.

Beginning with my first job as an assistant accounting clerk, I have enjoyed the challenge of continuously applying the best accounting practices to help deliver business goals. To continue adding value to the business, constant improvement has been necessary, both personally and on the job. To that end, I have consistently sought training in the newest technological and accounting developments, then put them to work for my employers.

The results have been worth the effort. Each year, the Accounts Payable division of my current employer, has become more accurate and efficient, eliminating late or incorrect payments and saving the company thousands of dollars.

I look forward to bringing this dedication to efficiency and growth to your organization as an entry level accountant. To schedule an interview, and learn how I could immediately begin contributing to Houseman Corp.’s success, please call me at (555) 555-1234.

Thank you,

Lionel Howland
