The applicant had a recent HR degree but never had held an HR position. The third sentence in the second paragraph counters any view that college instruction is out of touch with the real world.

Dear Ms. Lawrence:
I want to make it as easy as possible for States Bank to add me to its team as a Human Resources Assistant. Moving toward that goal starts with my resume.
I wanted to give you something more valuable than the usual job titles, responsibilities, and college course work. That's why I've included examples of HR-related problems solved. At school, my problem-solving skills were reviewed by senior HR professionals who were paid to evaluate my work against tough industry standards. At work, everyone saw my workforce management abilities-from supervisors, to coworkers, to customers. In fact, it was my work experience that motivated me to get a degree in Human Resources while I continued learning on the job.
My development program is almost finished. I have just obtained my BS in Human Resources. But I want to start putting my energies and skills to work in that field as soon as I can.
So, as a next step, I would like to hear about States Bank's specific HR needs in your own words. May I call in a few days to set up time to do that?
Sincerely,
Harrison Jones
