To Whom it May Concern

Dear Friends at the Kroc,

Greetings from a happy NNN resident! We are so pleased to have you with us! I have been coveting the position of Welcome Desk for several months now, having submitted an application before your job fair at the Palais Royale and again at that job fair, but my friend Melissa, a recent hire, advised that I do it again.

Initially, reading that the Welcome Desk Lead had (presumably) been hired, I was sad not to have even been considered, but after reading the qualifications and responsibilities of the Associate, I am convinced that I am your best candidate for that job. Why?

Because I love people, all of them. My favorite job so far, bar none, was as Welcome Desk Professional at Shell Point Retirement in Fort Myers, Florida. They preferred to call me Administrative Assistant, but most of my time was spent engaging and helping all manner of people. My dream job!

Because I have years and years of experience in an office setting and specifically in customer service. I know how to provide stellar service to one and all, having done that with the residents and staff of a group home we ran in Philadelphia, the residents and staff of Notre Dame's married student housing, Shell Point, and now funeral homes and families submitting obituaries to the South Bend Tribune. I also spent six years in Classifieds at the Trib, where I was my supervisor's go-to problem solver when we had an angry customer.

Because I am a highly proficient typist with well-honed grammatical skills and an excellent communicator in person and on paper; I have been working with computers for many,many years; I love the phones; I am a team player, gladly going the extra mile to help out when needed; I am always prompt and never sick; I keep myself in good shape; I'm strong.

I know that this is a very important position at the Kroc and I am certain that I can live up to your expectations. I hope you will allow me the pleasure of an interview. I am confident that my unique set of gifts and skills would make me an asset to your organization. All the best as you search for the right person; I hope your search stops with me.

With affection,

Cynthia W. Haas (Cyn)
