I would imagine the pluses would far outweigh the
minuses, or why else would I be here today?
Based on the job description and my assessment of your
corporate culture, I would imagine that one plus would
be the informal, family-like atmosphere.
The employees seem to genuinely like each other
and care about the success of each other and the company.
Another plus would be the contact with the public.
I enjoy meeting new people and helping them make
decisions, which is one of the reasons I chose this career.
As far as minuses go, I can foresee only one
possible minus.
Because everyone appears so close here, it might be
difficult for a new person to adapt and fit in.
However, I do not foresee this happening to me once
I join your team.
I bring a background that includes a related degree
and several years experience in a similar position with
another company.
The contacts I have already made in my previous position
will help me be productive immediately.
This particular position has a lot of room for innovation
and creativity.
I usually go well beyond the basic job requirements and
try to add considerable value to the organization I work for.
I am very excited about this opportunity and am looking
forward to start working for you as soon as possible.
From the research I've conducted, I learned that
your company has a wide and diverse product line.
Your service people are known as the best in the business,
according to the book "Looking for Excellence. "
The combination of your quality products and services
makes your company enticing to me.
With the drastic downsizing that your company has gone
through during the past two years, many of your employees
are wondering if their jobs will be the next to go.
Effective communication between management and
employees would be of great help in this situation.
I have read your annual reports and
company newsletters.
I have also read several magazine articles about
your company.
I learned that your company is one of the leaders in our
field, and I would very much like to become part
of your team.
I was excited to learn that your company will be 50 years
old next year.
This means that plans for the Golden Anniversary
celebration should begin soon.
I would very much like to be a part of the
planning committee.
I look forward to meeting some of the company's former
leaders, especially your former president.
