Let’s face it – identifying professionals who have the drive


to succeed can be a challenge. If you are looking for a
team member who can educate, build loyalty, perform
administrative functions and conduct effective
presentations, I would appreciate an interview to see how
my skill set will complement your team. I am confident
that I have the qualifications to make an immediate
contribution to your organization. I have an in depth and
personal knowledge of the energy arena that you might
not find in other candidates.

As reflected on my résumé, I have excelled in a sales and


business building environment where I have used public
relations, presentation, concept development and
marketing expertise to achieve objectives. These skills
along with my personal commitment to “doing things
right the first time” should provide the foundation that
you require.

Although I consider my communications and


organizational skills to be my greatest strengths, it is my
concept development and tactical thinking skills that best
qualify me for a role with your organization. With my
practical experience in the book publishing industry, I am
confident that I have the qualifications and competitive
nature to succeed on your team.

Sincere Regards,

Beth K
