To whom it may concern
With over 40yrs in the automotive business I am seeking a position of responsibility within your organization. I started as a technician and worked my way to the top as the Operations Manager of a multimillion dollar organization. I have recently been running an aftermarket shop for the last nine years with a staff of 15 and gross sales of 1.6 million dollars. I am now available to pursue other challenges. It is my desire to find a position that will afford me the flexibility to grow within the organization and provide me with a career that is both rewarding and challenging.
Sincerely
Robert Murphy
