Dear Ms. Hamblin:
I am very interested in interviewing for the
Consumer Lending Products Manager position with Hibernia National Bank
in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I learned of the position through Leslie
Borel, a former Manager of mine while at Ochsner Health Plan and a
current employee of Hibernia in Treasury Management.
I am a former Hibernia employee. I was employed in
Hibernia's Market Research department at the main office in downtown New
Orleans. During my time with Hibernia, I worked very closely with the
consumer products department. I organized several focus groups for them
and also worked with their sales staffs to determine the skills and
traits which make them successful sales people. I have extensive
knowledge of their products and feel that I would be a great asset to
their department.
I also have a strong sense of the corporate culture
at Hibernia. Along with my experience with consumer products, I worked
on several projects for Hibernia's Policy Group including,
Executive Service Team (EST), Retail Arena and Technology (RAT)
initiative and Employee Opinion and Upward Feedback. These projects
gave me a keen overview of Hibernia's goals for the future. I believe
that I have a great feel for Hibernia's big picture as well as the
necessary product knowledge in order to excel as a Consumer Loan Product
Manager!
I would like to interview for this position at your
earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
Alex Fredericks, Jr.
