Dear Ms. Smith
Please find attached my Curriculum Vitae for the position of Senior Human Resources Consultant.
I'm particularly interested in this position, which relates strongly to my ten years of experience in Human Resources at senior management level.
I'm currently Human Resources Manager of Littlecorp Inc., and I believe I meet all the essential criteria of the position. My work at Littlecorp has been rewarding and productive. However, I wish to expand my career further, into the consultancy role. I see the Senior Human Resources Consultant role as an integral part of my intended future career path, building on my previous achievements.
The position also has a definite correlation with my practical knowledge and experience. You'll see from my CV that I have been deeply involved in management and development of Littlecorp's Human Resources career strategies, including in particular our highly successful Career Path Management and Career Counseling services for staff and management. These strategies, policies and services are very closely linked to the fundamental consultancy element of the position.
I feel that I am well qualified to make an effective and useful contribution to Hugecorporate's consultancy operations. I have researched Hugecorporate's excellent record in innovative HR management and policy advisory services, and I'm enthusiastic about the chance to participate in a meaningful role with an industry leader in the field.
Thank you for your consideration of my application. Please contact me should you require any further information,
Yours sincerely


Will Yougetit
