GREG R. BILLINGTON
To Human Resources;
Please find enclosed a copy of my resume for your review. I believe my management and sales experience offers me the unique opportunity to make a positive contribution to your firm.
I am accustomed to a fast-paced environment where deadlines are priority and handling multiple jobs simultaneously is the norm. I enjoy a challenge and work hard to attain my goals. Constant negotiations with all levels of management have strengthened my interpersonal skills. I have been in supervisory positions in most jobs. I pride myself on always having a good rapport with all of my staff and having a team oriented atmosphere. I am very organized, goal oriented, and determined to give the best customer service possible.
I have an extensive and varied customer contact base throughout the Southern San Joaquin Valley and some coastal counties. I am mechanically inclined and work on show cars, boats, and race cars. I was raised on a farm and had my own farming operation of 500 acres. I have worked with and sold various types of machinery and equipment my whole life.
I would like very much to discuss with you how I could contribute to your organization.
I look forward to hearing from you soon to set up an appointment at your convenience. Please feel free to give me a call at the above telephone number.
Sincerely,
Greg R. Billington
