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,
