Dear HR Executive,

Thanks for your consideration. My professional FORTUNE 200 + general management

multi-unit/state retail operations and HR/recruiting, background follows for you
r review regarding opportunities in the south, southeast or north Texas. I have
been contract recruiting in Starkville, MS (for a high end Dallas, TX search fir
m) having relocated as a result of two catastrophic family health issues that de
manded my personal attention. My circumstances now allow me more flexibility to
pursue much preferred team-oriented initiatives which have been my demonstrated
successful track record.
As my synopsis indicates, my background includes a variety of Retail General Man
agement Operations and Human Capital successes among several leaders in their re
spective hard & soft lines categories and in multi-billion dollar environments.

team building responsibilities. My HR/retail operations background also includes
knowledge of all functional areas including distribution centers/logistics, IT,
Loss Prevention/Safety, Finance, accounting, construction, purchasing and much
more in a variety of Fortune 200 environments. I have also opened/staffed nearly

Resources experience covers executive search and recruiting/staffing in both fi
eld and corporate environments including distribution, light manufacturing & e-c
ommerce. As a part of an aggressive start-up team, (top staffing job in company)
at AutoNation USA, I have also been an effective change management agent for in
tegrating comprehensive HR compensation/benefit programs and compliance policies
/HR among acquired organizations. I was also a member of the PeopleSoft conversi
on team, (from ADP) for this one billion-dollar plus organization.

nce Management, Policy/Procedure development, Federal/Legal Compliance, Targeted
Diversity, Communications & Union avoidance requiring superior client relations

I am interested in contributing to an aggressive, culture driven team with a cle
ar vision and mission. I am confident that my high level references will enthusi
astically validate my successes as a result of my strategic business management
acumen.
Should you determine a potential fit, I would be most interested in discussing h
ow I may potentially contribute to your continuing organizational success.
