Manager General

To Whom It May Concern:

My name is Maxwell Luke. In 2010, I graduated from The Citadel, the

military college of South Carolina on full scholarship and received my B.S.

in business administration. Because of my standings as a cadet, I held many

leadership positions including the position of presidential aide to Lt.

General Rosa, the president of the college. As a result of my time at The

Citadel, public speaking, personal appearance, attention to detail,

teamwork, multi-tasking, and organization are essentially instinctive to my

work ethic and leadership.

For the years 2010 and 2011, I have been working in South East Asia gaining

practical entrepreneurial experience managing two privately owned

companies. I was the manager of a beachfront steak house and bar in

Southern China and the general manager of a internet company located in the

Philippines I have managed and directed employees from five different

countries and drastically different cultures in a multilingual environment

and have successfully run a fast paced business. Inevitably, I have learned

how to analyze and understand why people make the decisions that they make,

what their strengths and weakness are, and where they will succeed. This

skill set is essential in sales and management and I know that I can do

this within any environment, industry, or country.

It would be great to have the opportunity to interview so that I may

further expound as to how I can make a difference being a part of your

team. If you have any questions about my resume or need any further

information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your time

and consideration.

Respectfully,

Maxwell W. Luke
