Dear Jason
As a follow-up to our conversation regarding the Parts Counterman Position in your store,
I am submitting my resume’ for your consideration. As you will see from my extensive experience
with parts applications over the last twenty plus years in Billings I have grown in my knowledge of
the customers’ needs while cultivating valuable relationships with my customers.
During a long, rewarding career, I have proven myself to be both dependable and
punctual. I always look for opportunities to grow in my current position and serve as a mentor to
new employees when the opportunity presents itself.
I have earned the confidence of my fellow employees, managers and outside sales
people as the “go to person” . I trust that after reviewing my experience in this specialized area of
the parts business, you too, will know that I am the person you need at Crescent Electric.
Sincerely,
Frank Groblebe
