Résumé submission for Accounting/Finance (NYC)
Dear Avery Partners:
It’s been a while. Need your assistance one more time. Due to the current economic environment, my Company – NYC Industrial Technology & Assistance Corp. – eliminated my Sr. Accountant position back in October 2010. After several months caring for a sick father, I’m ready to start working full time again, thus making a contribution to the success of any Company. Attached please find a copy of my current resume. If I can schedule a brief meeting to stop by and update my profile, it’ll be appreciated. I’m also available for any temp assignments as we speak. My time is your time. Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you for your help, time, and attention.
