Dear
Mr. Thompson:
Thank you for taking
the time to interview me yesterday.
Your dedication to ensuring that
clients receive what they need
from Svens Consulting in the timeframe
they need it is admirable and makes
me confident that I would fit into
the culture at Svens. After speaking
with you, I reflected on some
of the skills and qualities you
indicated are most important
in this position: analytical
acuity, project management, flexibility,
and the ability to establish
strong relationships with clients.
In my experience as project manager
overseeing the delivery of complicated
knowledge management systems
to five major clients, my success
depended on these same skills.
You had mentioned
that miscommunication between
Sven's and your clients
periodically causes glitches
in providing services. Since
I am adept at developing a
strong rapport with clients,
understanding
their objectives and expectations,
and keeping communication lines
open, I would immediately add
value to the team at Svens.
In short, Pat, I am convinced
that the Director position
would be a good career move
for me and that I would contribute
to the success of Svens. I
look forward
to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Roger Wallace
