Claims Adjuster

Center Trust, a leading international insurance company, has 3 full time openings for the position of Claims Adjuster. Placements need to be made immediately to assist families struggling with losses from the summer hurricanes in the Southeastern United States.

The successful applicant is well-organized, computer literate, bilingual English/French or English/Spanish and possesses an ability to conduct themselves professionally in a stressful work environment.

Completed applications should be sent to Delbert McMahon, Human Resources, Center Trust Insurance, 3100 Chamber Cove Lane, Decatur, GA 90023.

ATTN: claims adjuster position

Mr. McMahon,

I will be graduating from Valdosta Technical College in May of 2006 with an Associate Degree in Accounting. I would be a good fit for your program, as in addition to my college experience, I also have successfully completed 2 summer cooperatives with Farm Hands Insurance Company here in Valdosta.

I understand that the position requires significant travel. This is fine with me.

I have reliable transportation and really enjoy seeing different parts of this great nation. I view the opportunity to travel in my work as a real perk. A further strength 1 bring to your organization is my ability to work and speak well in public.

I believe I would be a strong addition to your company. I look forward to working with you.

Cordially,

Boyd Hollingsworth

415. Manor Lane, Apt. 201

Valdosta. GA 9012
