To whom it may concern,

I am currently seeking employment in the plumbing field. I have over thirty years experience as a plumber, twenty-six of which is as a journeyman. The last 12 years I have worked as a foreman on commercial projects across the country. I have extensive experience in reading blueprint’s and in the supervising of crews. I have been in charge of every aspect of plumbing from the underground phase up until final inspections. I am well versed in all plumbing codes and also have experience with running a backhoe, front end loader and a trencher amongst the many tools that were a necessity to complete the building projects as required.

I am an extremely hard worker that takes pride in a job well done. I am used to hard work and long hours as these were a requirement in my jobs as foreman to insure that these jobs were done correctly and within the time frame specified by my superiors.

I’d like the opportunity to tell you more about my work experience and how my skill set could contribute to the successful day-to-day operations of your facility. Attached you will find several references, both work related and personal.

Thank you for taking the time to consider me for this position and I look forward to discussing it with you in the near future.

Sincerely,

Jack Charles Swafford
