Description
COVER LETTER: Dear Recruiter My name is Bekele Demissie. As the Senior Community & Business Relations Specialist at the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) for more than a decade, I have had the opportunity to develop long-lasting and productive relationships with the Orange County diverse community leaders, regional, state, and federal officials. I would like to bring these wealth of knowledge, experience, benefit and value to your agency. Forging such committed relationships with decision-makers at all levels takes time, persistence and patience. Many of the external stakeholders, key opinion leaders and community-based organizations that you are trying to reach are already familiar with my proven track record of reliability and integrity. I look forward to working with them on your behalf to successfully execute your organization strategies, goals, and projects. For many years, I have effectively managed both large and small groups, always helping each individual achieve his or her best for the good of the endeavor. Most recently, I have managed OCTA's Business Expo, an annual conference for more than 500 southern California small businesses. I am very effective at keeping positive communications flowing when politically sensitive matters emerge and can keep all parties moving forward. Working with government affairs is a skill that takes time to learn, and in me you have a seasoned professional who has already traveled that path. The relationship I developed is a value and I will be able to be a bridge to bring benefit to your agency and the communities. Combined with my extensive knowledge of and positive reputation with local stakeholders and decision-makers and my proven experience as a team leader, I believe that I would be a good fit for your agency. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me via e-mail at bekeled1@yahoo.com or via phone at (714) 932-7259. Please allow me to put my motivation and experience to work for you. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely Bekele Demissie
