Dear Sirs,

Recruitment consultant positions

I am contacting you today to discuss the possibility of present or future roles within your company for recruitment consultants. I attached my resume which I trust you will find of interest.

For the last 8 years I have worked within the accounting sector, commencing in an accounts payable role working my way up to management and financial accountant roles. During this time I have undertaken roles which have expanded my skill base and experience, and I’m now looking for a more challenging role with a high level of job satisfaction.

Having explored the recruitment industry, I understand one of the key factors for a successful consultant is a high degree of sales ability, and thereafter ongoing customer relations. Although my past positions (mainly outside of the industry) have required me to be customer facing, and delivering a high standard of customer service, none have involved direct sales. In order to gain experience I have for the last 3 months been in direct sales, selling charitable monthly subscriptions directly to the public. This work involved approaching members of the public, pitching and objection handling each individual to impulse them to donate to the charity I am working on behalf of.

Whilst undertaking this work I was part of a team, but very much responsible for my own results, which was the base of my remuneration.

I feel that this unsolicited selling experience have given me an insight into my future, and I particularly enjoyed the variety of the work, together with the sense of achievement. I would now like to combine my skill base with this selling experience, and move into recruitment.

I would very much like to discuss any roles that you have at present, or perhaps a more informal discussion regarding my application.

Yours faithfully,

Louise Hurrell
