Dear Sir/Madam,

As I have been following your company and work for many years, I am honored to be submitting my application for the Purchasing Clerk position. I believe that my career history makes me an ideal candidate for this role and if given the opportunity, I will be coming to you with a pro-active approach, exceptional work ethic, and determination to meet and exceed all your expectations.

To briefly introduce myself, I am a detail-oriented and dedicated individual offering a proven track record of success in finishing all assigned projects within budget and in a timely manner. At Transplace, Inc., where I worked as a Purchasing Clerk for more than 2 years, I was mainly in charge of preparing and processing purchase orders, producing and reviewing agreements and contracts, and conducting professional market research. On top of that, I resolved any reported problematic issues, communicated and worked closely with local/global vendors, and collaborated with colleagues on the improvement of existing procurement processes to decrease unnecessary expenses. During my time there, I had demonstrated numerous times that I am a great team player with the important ability to solve complex problems.

Furthermore, I am a native German speaker with a proficiency in English and a basic knowledge of French. With a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the Monash University, I am adept at using all software programs required for the job, including MS Office, IBM Emptoris, and Orderhive. Finally, I am a Certified Procurement Specialist and would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you in person to discuss the position and my qualifications in more detail. Please do not hesitate to contact me at 555-555-5555 or via email at hello@kickresume.com. Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to speaking with you in the near future.

Faithfully,

Vera Zentner
