Dear Employer:

I am especially interested in a position with a Department of Defense

contractor because I believe that with my 5 years of Naval Aviation

maintenance experience I will be an asset to your advanced programs in

support of our nation. While in the military my initiative and drive were

directly responsible for achieving the mission, I truly look forward to

transferring this dedicated work ethic to your company.

As you can see by my resume, I have a strong, background in both Avionics

and Mission Systems within the United States Armed Forces. Because of

this, my expertise is useful on a vast majority of mission critical

systems, on the ground and in the air, due to the advances in technology

and the tying together of all military branches.

In my last position I oversaw and successfully collaborated and lead

junior personnel with problem analysis at the subsystem level. I

successfully interacted and worked very closely with a variety of levels of

the flight community to include both maintainers and professional level

engineers and technical representatives on a daily basis. The clarity of my

communication and ability to create a team environment was vital to our

overall success.

I currently hold an active SECRET level security clearance.

As an employee I have proven to be dedicated, hard working, flexible and

highly analytical. I am excellent at developing relationships and always

committed to finding positive, cost effective solutions while always

learning new skills and responsibilities to consistently take on new

challenges.

With these qualifications, I am confident that I am an excellent match for

your position. I would be excited to bring a variety of new experiences and

ideas to add value to your organization. Thank you for your consideration,

and please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I truly

look forward to the opportunity to meet with you.

Respectfully,
