While working on a particularly difficult repair job several years ago, I

spoke with my boss at 8:00 in the evening - well past quitting time - and

told him about the situation. He suggested I go home and work on it the

next day, but I knew it would cause problems for the restaurant staff if I

didn't take care of it that evening. So instead of leaving, I clocked out

and stayed for another hour until the job was done.

That has always been my work style: do whatever is needed to get the job

done, and done right. As a Stationary Engineer for a large public school, I

am responsible for all mechanical operations. This includes inspections and

preventive / emergency maintenance on a variety of equipment, including

HVAC systems. My background also includes working as a Service Technician

and Central Plant Engineer.

I also offer a bachelor's degree in Leadership and Management and I have

demonstrated the ability to work with people at all levels throughout my

career. My style is laid back but very focused. I am a good listener and I

treat people with respect, but when there is a problem, nobody has to tell

me to take care of things. In addition, when I see someone handling a

particularly difficult job I take the initiative to step in and offer

assistance.

My goal is to merge my two strengths: technical expertise and management

training. If you have an opening for a hard working professional with

strong problem solving skills, a proven work ethic, and the know-how to

manage operations and promote teamwork, I would like to meet with you for a

personal interview at your convenience. Thank you for your time and

consideration.

Sincerely,

Danny Mayes
