Summary
Re: Employment Opportunity
Dear Human Resources Manager:
Please accept this letter and résumé as an expression of interest in the above position.
As indicated on my résumé, I am passionate about Safety & Security and have over 10 years of security and hospitality experience. This included ensuring the safety and security of various business properties and their staff and visitors by remaining vigilant, observant, and alert to identify suspicious or unusual activity or predictors of disruptive behaviour and determine when assistance was required. There were some incidents where I had to deal with emotional/frustrated individuals. It was through this experience where I was able to hone my communication and conflict-resolution skills. I am a rational, patient, and understanding individual who communicates effectively and respectfully, and I am knowledgeable of the strategies and techniques needed to de-escalate tension in difficult situations. Part of my job functions, included recording daily activities and completing detailed/accurate reports by recording shift and occurrence reports. I am able to take detailed notes to identify and categorize relevant, admissible evidence for presentation requirements in legal proceedings.
Other qualities that I possess, which may not be readily apparent from my résumé, include the proven ability to remain calm under pressure and have excellent listening skills, good judgement, and reasonable decision-making capabilities. I hold a valid Ontario Class “G” Driver’s Licence and all the Certifications as specified in this job posting. As far as my educational background is concerned, I hold an Ontario Secondary School Diploma and I am eligible to work in Canada.
With my extensive security experience, superior work ethic, and good moral character and habits, I believe that I could be a powerful contributor to your team. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my candidacy with you in more detail and look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
