Human Resource Director Cover Letter

A cover letter is a summary of work, written by an applicant, describing about his capabilities for the job at hand. It carries a short description about an individual's significant experience and skills directly pointing out at his USP. The recruiter determines, from reading the cover letter, whether the applicant is worth giving a chance or not. The cover letter cannot substitute your resume and hence while writing it, you should maintain a marked difference between the two.

Subject- Application for the post of HR Director

Dear Mr. Wordsworth,

I am applying for the post of HR Director at your office. I came to know about this post from an ad posted on www.hrpositions.com on January 8, '14. I have read the ad and I am most confident that I meet all the principle requirements, in terms of experience and skills, for this job. Going by the requirements mentioned in the ad, I think I am suitable for this post, given my rich experience in the field of human resource management.

I have a good experience of six years in this field. During this time, I have been with two separate organizations, starting at the post of HR executive, and climbing up the ladder to the post of HR manager at my present job.

I am currently employed with Morgan Financial Solutions, where I am heading the HR department with a team of ten HR executives. During my tenure here, I have been successful at increasing the employee retention ratio from 66% to 80% during the last financial year. I specialize in employee motivation and retention schemes, and can confidently say that I will meet the required standards at your organization. At my first job at SDC Corporation, in New York, I handled application processing and interviews of the prospective employees.

This will be my third job and I am looking forward to this specific opportunity, as I want to take on greater challenges of working in a big organization like yours. I am sure that my skills and experience will mutually benefit us in this endeavor. All the details about my professional history and education have been provided in my resume, which I am enclosing here along with this cover letter. Your office can contact me anytime on my above mentioned telephone number.

Yours Sincerely,

(Signature)
Trent Howard
