To whom it may concern:

Due to my spouse’s recent corporate transfer to Texas, I am now in search of a challenging career opportunity near The Woodlands.

My career has allowed me to hone administrative and project management skills in support of executive-level teams throughout corporate real estate and construction projects, from conception to final lease execution. During my most recent position, I functioned in accordance to the needs of Senior Vice Presidents of both Store Development and International Business Development at The Children’s Place. Some of my responsibilities included performing extensive research of international construction and development legalities to facilitate company expansion into diverse markets.

In similar roles, I assisted executives and interdepartmental employees by monitoring real estate and construction activities, compiling warranties, and processing correlating paperwork, among other responsibilities. I acted as point of contact for outside counsel, real estate brokers, and landlords/developers regarding each project, including site selection and letter of intent negotiations. I take great pride in my history of coordinating project schedules and following up on individual operations, ensuring initiatives comply with legal protocols and company standards.

I can also offer:
• Faculty for assessing internal practices requiring improvement and determining alternative solutions to optimize outcomes.
• Effective interpersonal and communication skills; ability to apply such skills when training employees on company protocols, as well as industry regulations.
• Proficiency with using MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; learns new processes and technologies quickly.

You will find me to be a motivated, analytical professional, and I am certain to become a contributing member of your team. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to speaking with you to provide additional details regarding my qualifications.

Sincerely,
Sandra McCabe
