    I am writing to inquire about the position of Human Resources Administrator
    at Delphi, GLOBE Series, Leading Change and CBSR. I am a recent graduate
    from the University of Waterloo with a bachelor of Arts featuring a minor in
    Human Resource Management. I pride myself on my exceptional interpersonal
    communication skills.


    My education at the University of Waterloo has helped me develop excellent
    research skills. My degree has helped me hone my abilities to locate and
    verify source materials in a variety of different fields.


    While I am not currently certified as bilingual, I have taken an
    introduction to French course at university. I do possess some basic
    knowledge of French, being able to understand basic conversational patterns
    and have a limited ability to respond in kind. I would be more than willing
    to expand on my knowledge of the French language.


    Similarly, I am not currently a member of HRPA, nor a designated CHRP;
    however, I am willing to pursue those accreditations if desired. As part of
    my degree, I did complete the coursework requirements for CHRP/CHRL, though
    have yet to pursue formal accreditation.


    I have demonstrated experience working in environments that require high
    levels of confidentiality.


    In terms of software applications, I have proficiency in the entire
    Microsoft Office suite, as well as basic coding skills in HTML/JavaScript.
    I have not worked with any HRIS systems in a professional capacity, but
    I have been exposed to them during the course of my education.


    From my previous work experience and education, I have demonstrated strong
    time management and multitasking abilities. My education has also granted me
    an understanding of current Canadian employment legislation.


    I believe that I would be an excellent candidate for this opportunity based
    on my proficiencies outlined above. I think this would be an excellent
    opportunity to leverage my education in human resource management to
    facilitate better sustainability in Canadian businesses.


    Thank you for taking the time to consider me for this position. I look
    forward to hearing from you in the future.    


short: >-
  Seeking work experience to leverage my educational experience in Human
  Resource Management. I pride myself on my professionalism and ability to
  function as a cohesive team member, completing tasks with the utmost rigour.
