I am writing in reply to your advertisement in last week's Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Among the positions listed in that ad, I am particularly interested in the job of Bank Branch Manager.
As my enclosed resume shows, I have recently relocated to the Atlanta area from New England, where I worked in the banking industry for more than 6 years. I spent the last three years at Shawmut Bank, managing their branch in the suburb of Arlington.
My accomplishments as a branch manager include:
- Instituting employee retention programs that resulted in
a 22% decrease in job turnover.
- Initiating marketing programs that increased my branch's
deposits by over 15%.
- Developing quality control procedures that reduced teller
errors by more than 30%.
My research suggests that my experience, background and personality provide an excellent fit with First Southern's philosophy of "people first" banking. I am available to begin work immediately, and would appreciate the opportunity for an interview at your first convenience.
I appreciate your consideration, and hope to hear from you soon.
