Phoenix, AZ 85016

Dear Robert Half Hiring Manager,

Thank you for the opportunity to be considered as a candidate for the Payroll Clerk position. I
found the opening for this position through Jobing.com by searching for clerical positions. I am
currently a third-year undergraduate student pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree of Arts in Theatre
(Acting) at Arizona State University, but my past work experiences predispose me toward
supporting roles in a high-efficiency work environment, and clerical work best suits the skills I
currently offer to potential employers.

During the course of my academic career, I acquired eight months of experience working in the
Clerical and Legal Bill Review departments at Repwest Insurance Company. In doing so, I
gained a highly functional knowledge of Microsoft programs, HTML, and telecommunications.
As a system member occasionally responsible for retrieving information, I developed a strong
sense of professionalism in communicating with clients and business partners. My former
manager and coworkers would testify that I held the company’s interests in the highest regard
while achieving a timely turnaround on workflow. I now seek to broaden my capabilities and
bolster my professional resume, which is why I maintain proficiency in transferable computer
programs throughout my education at Arizona State University, and I understand that these
same skills will benefit your company.

Given my experience in this work field and my commitment to maintaining expertise in my skill
set, I believe that I am the type of competent and competitive candidate that you seek to
employ for your Payroll Clerk position, and after reviewing my résumé, I hope that you will
agree. Please contact me via email to further discuss my qualifications. Thank you for your
consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Devon E Bell
