To Whom It May Concern:
I feel that I can be a great contribution to your company. As a dedicated team player, I provide excellent customer service and leadership skills. I effectively work well under pressure with strengths in communication, organization, and attention to detail and adaptability to constantly changing demands. Employers appreciate my initiative, ability to assume responsibility and eagerness to learn and work without supervision. I am extremely flexible and accommodating, working often to adjusting schedules of groups or individuals to provide support.
I have over 20 years of technical experience ranging from Desktop Support, Trainer, Network Administrator, Systems and Business Analyst. I interact daily with management on matters concerning several functional areas, divisions, and customers. I exercise independent judgment in developing methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria for obtaining results.
I have over 11 years of experience working in the legal field from directly supporting Superior Court Judges to attorneys and law firms. I approve requirements for all project communication, escalation of issues and reviews and ensure the final product meets/exceeds customer expectations. As a member of the NAVY Program Management Office, my responsibilities included planning, organizing, directing, and tracking all aspects of the program, including technology, schedule, cost, and internal customer satisfaction. I interfaced with task, technical and functional leaders, consultants, and support personnel. I was the primary internal customer interface for direct support. I was also responsible for both meeting the project schedule and ensuring all contractual requirements were met.
I am able to manage projects involving complex new technology, stringent schedule and cost requirements, significant risk, numerous consultants, and a widely diverse internal customer base. I prepare and provide briefings to the Board, consistent with the required methodology. I am capable of planning, organizing, directing and tracking technical, cost, schedule, and risk management for moderately complex programs. I have good written and verbal communication skills, as well as effectiveness in managing subordinates, and coach them to improve performance.
I welcome the opportunity to hear more about the company and what it has to offer. Please feel free to contact me with any questions and I look forward to hearing from you.
Warmest Regards,
Frank Estrada
