Dear Madame/Sir:

My name is Ben Fairs and I am applying to your company for the HR Generalist position. I am a recent HR graduate of Sheridan College, and am familiar with current human resource management theory and practice. I have experience as a HR Assistant and possess strong analytical skills.

Having worked as a HR Assistant I have experience with the recruitment process, maintaining an HRIS system, assisting with special projects and requests, and responding to inquiries regarding benefits, pension, HR policies and procedures. I want to remain up to date in the HR field by ongoing training and development, and am working towards my CHRP designation having passed Tier 1 of the Certified Provincial Exams.

Through my educational and work background I have acquired the skills necessary to effectively train and educate people. I am very experienced in learning and mastering software applications and am a strong team player. I am very good at fostering and maintaining an environment of positive employee relations. I also have a broad-based knowledge in dealing with, and avoiding computer problems. I think my easy-going and observant personality compliment my skills excellently.

A flexible attitude, excellent interpersonal and communication skills, and broad-based computer knowledge are what I can offer. I would like to bring my resourcefulness and creativity to your organization.
