In response to your job announcement for an Aircraft Mechanic, please accept my resume for
consideration.
I offer twenty three years experience in aviation maintenance; fifteen of those years as a Certified
Airframe and Power Plant Mechanic. During my tenure in aviation maintenance, I have been responsible for
overseeing the operation of a jet engine test cell, releasing aircraft as safe for flight, certifying the quality of work
for other mechanics and directing overnight maintenance for approximately ten large transport category airplanes.
In addition to the responsibilities listed above, I have substantial experience testing, troubleshooting and
repairing hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical systems on multi engine aircraft weighing over one hundred
thousand pounds. Specifically: Boeing 767, 757, 737, and MD80 aircraft.
My experience also includes inspecting and repairing engines at overhaul that produce fourteen
thousand, forty thousand and ninety thousand pounds of thrust. Specifically: GE F404 series, Rolls Royce RB211
series and Rolls Royce Trent 800 series engines.
My general skills include operating computers and test equipment in performing daily tasks, knowledge of
AC/DC electrical theory, troubleshooting electronic circuits and the ability to be productive in a team oriented
environment.
These experiences combined with personal integrity, initiative, focus and a positive attitude make me an
ideal candidate capable of filling a variety of positions requiring mechanical aptitude, professionalism, and the
ability to rapidly acquire new skills.
Thank you for your time and consideration of my resume. I look forward to meeting in person to discuss
my future employment.
Sincerely,
Kenny King
