Mr. James D. Saylor
General Manager
Johnson Furniture
P.O. Box 95
Lewisburg, PA 17837
Dear Mr. Saylor:
Ron Schooley spoke with me yesterday and suggested I contact you. As I believe he mentioned to you, we worked together at Winchester Furniture until I was affected by the major downsizing that we went through in January of this year. As a result of that process, I am actively seeking new employment. Ron told me that you expressed possible interest in my background and that you might be aware of potential opportunities with Johnson Furniture.
My experience with Winchester Furniture has exposed me to a variety of areas and responsibilities. As a Marketing Buyer, I worked in Marketing, Procurement, and with Logistics, as well as with new product development. I am interested in pursuing opportunities that will enable me to continue my career in project management, perhaps in the areas of Marketing.
Now that I am in the job market, I am eager to return to north-central Pennsylvania, as I am originally from that area. We are flexible to relocation opportunities. As you undoubtedly have discovered, I am enclosing my resume.
I would very much appreciate the opportunities to have a brief conversation with you regarding ideas you might have about my background and names you might be willing to share with me for networking purposes. To that end I will call you early in May to see if we could arrange a short meeting in Lewisburg at your convenience.
Thank you for your interest and consideration. I look forward to speaking with you.
Sincerely,
