It is with great enthusiasm that I submit my application. As a Management professional with over thirty years’ experience in Management and with a diverse number of projects to my credit, I know my diverse skills and qualifications will make me an asset to the team. I am capable of following company guidelines but can think out of the box as well. My work ethic is that there is always room for improvement, there is always something to do, and the Customer is number one. Teamwork is the environment I foster and believe each team member is equally important and success depends on the integrity of the team. I believe in being not only a manager but a mentor to the team members to foster their personal potential growth.

In the course of my career I have also owned my own businesses, as diverse as Network consulting, Custom advertising and signage, Two Paradise donut shops, and property management.

As you will see from the attached resume, I’ve built my career in a variety of roles and industries, where I was not just the I.T. Director Heavily involved in management, but also Network Engineer, Team leader, and capable of filling in for whatever position I may be needed. I’m not only used to wearing many hats, I sincerely enjoy it; I thrive in an environment where no two work days are exactly the same.In my environment I have dealt with the general public as customers, as well as the local users which also were considered my customers. I had to deal with individuals on a regular basis and in a variety of situations and the primary goal was to make sure the customer was happy and satisfied their needs were met.

In addition to being flexible and responsive, I’m also a fanatic for details. One of my recent projects involved coordinating the I.T. Departments of several sites including two in Europe, and overseeing a department whose job was to also support sales and service personnel located in sites across the globe. I believe in applying this same level of attention to detail to tasks as visible as prepping the materials for a top-level meeting and as mundane as making sure the copier never runs out of paper and the floors are swept.

In closing, I am thrilled at the possibility of being involved in the development and strategy to deliver the reliability and integrity of a skilled Manager to the company. I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you and discuss the value that I can bring to the organization. I feel my broad experiences will provide a diversity that can be unequalled and bring a new perspective. I appreciate your consideration and look forward to hearing from you.

Warmest regards,

Jim Wilmott
