Dear Hiring Manager, 


My name is Scott James Burns, and I’m excited to apply for a position at your company. I have experience in customer service, high-end hospitality, and sales. I worked at Herons at the Umstead Hotel and Spa, a Forbes Five-Star restaurant that was once awarded a Michelin star. There, I developed my professionalism, attention to detail, and team skills. I’ve also worked in door-to-door solar sales and have interned in real estate. I hold licenses in Life & Health Insurance, Medicare Supplement & Long-Term Care, and I passed the SIE exam. I’ve also completed several additional certifications, including medical billing and courses from Yale University. I’m trained in using the right verbiage and etiquette expected in both hospitality and client-focused financial roles. I am looking for a non-remote, in-person opportunity where I can continue to grow in the insurance or financial services industry. I would love the chance to meet in person and talk about how I can help your team. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Scott James Burns
