Why You Should Hire Me

INTRO & ATTENTION GETTER

Hi, my name is Chelsea Hall. Instead of telling you a handful of generic reasons why I would be a great candidate for this job, I want to share a quote with you.

Malcolm Forbes, former publisher of Forbes Magazine, once said, “Never hire someone who knows less than you do about what he’s hired to do.”

Like Mr. Forbes and many other great leaders of our time, they make it a standard in their companies to hire the best of the best. Being the best means that you know not only what it takes to get the job done, but also how to do it well.

When looking to hire an employee, you must look for leadership, tenacity, and adaptability. All qualities which I posses. (smile)

MEAT – MY SKILLS

Starting at a young age, sports have always been a part of my lifestyle. They have engrained in me that you must be unrelenting and willing to go the extra mile to get the results you want. These lessons I have learned from sports have helped me lead various types of teams to success.

My leadership skills have landed me captain titles in the classroom and on the competition field. I have the knowledge to inspire and direct groups of people who are willing to learn and achieve great things.

My tenacious spirit has also brought me many favorable outcomes. From working hard to earn a Division 1 scholarship to play the game I love, to continuing to develop my communication and media skills in search of a job that is the right fit for me, I am determined and motivated to accomplish every goal I set for myself and every task that is presented to me.

Adapting to new situations and crises is practically a specialty of mine. I love taking on new challenges and problem solving to fix potential disasters. I am able to work with all kinds of people and adjust to new environments faster than the blink of an eye.

CONCLUSION – SEAL THE DEAL

If you should hire me for this job, I promise you that I will give every ounce of effort that I can and strive to bring our team to the top. Lets get started.
