Referral Cover Letter for Working Mom Seeking Work After Employment Gap

Dear Ma’am,

Please accept this letter as my expression of my interest to join your roster of specialists at your new online media department. I was informed by Clemone Burke of your Marketing team that you are seeking to fill 10 vacancies for Social Media Specialists.

Reviewing my credentials, I have held a technical supervisory position for six years at moneypaycard.com where I trained in handling ecommerce, delivery and shipping accounts. This was before I moved into Miami and got married. Though I have been a SAHM (Work-at-home-mom) the last 3 years, you will note that I have consistently taken in online work as a virtual assistant for a Miami-based budget travel website.

I consider my valuable time at home a learning process; through my online work at budgetdollartravel.com I have gained important knowledge in many facets of social media marketing and linkbuilding. I have devoted my energy to balancing key aspects of work and home life, I would say I have been very successful at it. I am able to care for my child and effectively meet deadlines at work at the same time.

Now that my son is entering preschool, I can now actively pursue full-time employment. My objective now is to secure a position as a Social Media Specialist, as I consider myself now an expert in handling accounts on twitter, facebook, formspring, myspace and other social media platforms. My resume is enclosed, so you may view my skills and experiences in greater detail. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss my qualifications in a personal interview.

Sincerely,
Andrea Owens

Return to Work Cover Letter for Mom with School Kids

A mom's cover letter vying for a return-to-work job as a retail sales specialist

Dear Ma'am,

I'm Helena Rossenberg, I'm 25 years-old and a graduate of University of Missouri with a degree in Communications. I have been a full-time mom for the last 3 years and now that my kids are in school, I'm very much ready to seek employment.

I read your ad at jobsdaily news and I got really interested in the retail positions described. I have previous professional sales experience in Store sales at Delby's when I worked as a Retail consultant during my college years. Being a stay-at-home mom didn't stop me from pursuing a sales job, for the last two years I have been an online sales and marketing specialist for flowers2bee.com, a flower and honey farm that sells organic products online.

With the new Uptown Mall opening very soon, I'm very interested to be part of your sales team, I'm eager to learn the ropes of retail management and inventory. I do take directions well and I'm really dedicated and hardworking. I'm ready to start work any time, I'm not sure what position would be suitable for me at your store so I'm sending you my resume.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you so much and have a good day!

Helena
