Dear Hiring Manager:
As my resume illustrates, there are many years of experience and
accomplishments ranging from possessing a vast knowledge of working in the
oil field for over three years, owning businesses, working with city and
county governments. Take for example, my experience for city and county
government proved beneficial for taxpayers and union members alike. My
redesigned benefit package was more suited to the ongoing needs of city
employees and taxpayers. The implemented program increased benefits and
save the City of North Tonawanda two million dollars a year. Erie and
Niagara County were so impressed with the effective health care benefit
package plan of mine they incorporated my system within one year.
In addition, I have a proven successes in design, development,
implementing, and support of all management functions.
. Provided operational guidance in analyzing and appraising the
effectiveness of organizational operations throughout citywide
government including upgraded golf courses, enhancing the effectiveness
of recreational departments, streamlining budgets, worked on
litigations, resolved complex labor disagreements and provided
leadership through team first methods.
. Participated in the scheduling, development, completion, and evaluation
of strategic business and performance goals, short and long-term
objectives, plans, budgets, programs, and policies in statewide
government.
. Evaluated operating results throughout the private, government and not
for organizations, to ensure growth and objectives are being met
according to the needs and requirements of parent organization.
. Monitored the capital expenditures, and assets of public and private
offices.
My enlistment in the Marine Corps, education, training, working in oil
field well stimulation, acid treatment, and cementing, owning a investment
service company, city labor specialist, owning a home design business and
vast experience working and advising county government officials allowed me
to apply the best that today's management and technical skills has to offer
from a more creative point of view than many other managers do not have.
As a result, I have an unusual talent for turning challenges into solutions
that can yield profitable and positive results.
The benefit of working for small and large firms is that I had the
opportunity to handle a range of responsibilities. You can contact me at
505-***-****/2219. I am looking forward to meeting with you and
providing you with further information about the qualifications, I possess.
Sincerely,
