Dear Recuiter,

 

I’m confident that I’m a perfect for your growing enterprise and would like the opportunity to interview with you. My time spent as an Outbound Process Assistant working for Amazon.com and as a Shift Lead for Helly Hansen has enabled me to increase my proficiency in Operations Management and Project Management through the setup of two Amazon.com Fulfillment Centers and overseeing a portion of an operations change-over. I have owned projects that have positively impacted Shipping Operations at Amazon Fulfillment Centers leading to both time saved and driving down costs. I have continued in my efforts to drive down costs while increasing overall production as I transitioned from working with Amazon.com to Helly Hansen, implementing several successful business practices. I have also gained extensive working knowledge of Microsoft Office Suite, particularly Excel. Please see my resume for further details.

 

Thank you for your time and consideration.

 

Best Regards,

Joshua Bookhamer
