Working in the retail environment things can get very stressful, dealing with different personalities as
well as having to handle many tasks at one time. When I see “maintaining emotional control under
stress” I can think of all the different situations where things weren’t going well or I had people getting
mad at me for things that I had no control over. Another skill I see on this list is “interacting with people
at different levels”, I think this one is very apparent in my work experience because I’ve had to meet and
communicate with people from all walks of life while learned that not everyone can be approached the
same way. Having the ability to handle money has also been included in my work experience. Cashiering
is a job where you must be very thorough and keep track of everything you do or it can impact the
whole company negatively.

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to express my interest in the Finance Manager for the Global Business position. I
am extremely interested in working for such a successful company. Working at Nike for the last
two summers has given me the insider perspective of what it takes to be a part of the Nike
family.

My work history has offered me a unique experience working with the public, working with
large internal groups and working individually. No matter what directives I have been given, I
take great pride in seeing a job to completion with exceptional attention to detail.

As a new Nike employee, I see my objective is to support the work of others throughout the
organization, motivating others and do everything in my power to bring Nike success. It is also
my goal that this position could lead to future opportunities as I garner a better understanding of
Nike’s mission and goals.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Tyler Hoffman
