Remember…your resume gets a 20 second glance the first time a hiring manager views it, so quickly
answer the question…
How specifically did you do your job?

A PARs/SARs statement is a specific example of success doing a key element/duty of your job and covers the most important aspects of your job.
The specific results of your actions should be immediately clear to the reader.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I noticed a recent job posting on your website that describes a position with qualifications that I have attained in my 10 years in the banking industry.
You listed these requirements:• Handle bank reconciliations – I managed weekly bank
reconciliations at TD bank in my role as assistant bank manager.
• Post journal entries – I posted dozens of journal entries daily in my position at P&C bank. I received several commendations for accuracy.
• Process payroll with ADP – I processed payroll for 18 employees with Quickbooks which is substantially similar to ADP
I would like to speak with you about how I can add value to your organization.
I have enclosed my resume and look forward to speaking with you.
Kind regards,
Me
