DEAR HIRING MANAGER:

IT IS WITH GREAT ENTHUSIASM THAT I SUBMIT MY RESUME FOR REVIEW ON MONSTER.COM. THE ENCLOSED RESUME

OUTLINES MY PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE AND ACHIEVEMENTS.

AS MY RESUME INDICATES, I HAVE HELD POSITIONS WITH EXTENSIVE PROJECT MANAGEMENT, CUSTOMER SERVICE,

AND CONSULTANT EXPERIENCE. FROM 1999-2005, I WAS THE ONLINE ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DATABASE

COORDINATOR FOR THE INSTITUTE OF FOOD TECHNOLOGISTS. MY POSITION WAS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE

IMPLEMENTATION, EXECUTION AND COMPLETION OF THE ONLINE SUBMISSION SYSTEM FOR 2,000 PRESENTATIONS

ANNUALLY. THIS POSITION REQUIRED END-TO-END PROJECT MANAGEMENT, BUDGETING, DATA ANALYSIS, REPORTING,

ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT, AND COMMUNICATION WITH REGISTRANTS AND SPEAKERS. THEN AS AN OUTSOURCED

CONSULTANT, I CONTINUED TO FULFILL THE DATABASE COORDINATOR DUTIES, AS WELL AS, THE COMPLETION OF

PROPOSALS, PROJECT PLANS AND DOCUMENTATION FOR UPDATING OF THE ONLINE ABSTRACT SUBMISSION SYSTEM.

THE COORDINATOR POSITIONS I HAVE HELD HAVE ALSO REQUIRED EXTENSIVE DATA ANALYSIS AND REPORTING FOR

INSIDE AND OUTSIDE COMPANY CUSTOMERS. THESE POSITIONS HAVE SHOWN MY ABILITY TO ADAPT QUICKLY, TAKE ON

ADDED RESPONSIBILITIES, AND CONSTANTLY LEARN NEW SKILLS. I AM CONFIDENT THAT THIS UNIQUE COMBINATION

OF ONLINE ABSTRACT SUBMISSION MANAGEMENT AND CONSULTANT EXPERIENCE HAS GIVEN ME THE TRAINING THAT

WILL MAKE ME A VALUABLE MEMBER OF ANY TEAM.

I AM ABLE TO OFFER YOU THE FOLLOWING QUALITIES:

• APTITUDE: ABILITY TO COMPREHEND NEW CONCEPTS AND IMPLEMENT NEW STRATEGIES TO COMPLETE TASKS.

• PERSONALITY: POSITIVE MINDED, DISCIPLINED PERFORMER WHO FOCUSES ON RESULTS.

• TEAM PLAYER: EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION SKILLS, BOTH VERBAL AND WRITTEN, WITH ALL LEVELS OF INTERNAL

AND EXTERNAL CONTACTS TO COORDINATE PRODUCT DELIVERY.

• ORGANIZATION: MANAGE TIME WELL TO MEET DEADLINES WITHOUT SACRIFICING QUALITY.

• SELF-MOTIVATION: APPROACH ALL TASKS WITH A SENSE OF OWNERSHIP, RESPONSIBILITY, AND COMMITMENT.

THE SUMMARY GIVEN IN THIS LETTER AND MY RESUME CANNOT FULLY COMMUNICATE MY POTENTIAL CONTRIBUTION

TO YOUR TEAM. IN ADDITION, UPON REQUEST, I WILL BE PLEASED TO PROVIDE REFERENCES THAT WILL PROVIDE A

MORE EXTENSIVE LOOK INTO MY PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND. I WOULD APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK

WITH YOU PERSONALLY AND ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME BY PHONE (773-8511857)

OR BY EMAIL (DKIRCHBERG@ATT.NET).

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

SINCERELY,

Darrin M Kirchberg
