To Whom It May Concern :
I am an experienced, self motivated professional with a diverse background
in sales engineering related positions. Strong qualities of mine include
adapting to new situations easily and learning quickly, as well as proven
skills of organization, marketing, project management and engineering
application. With my background and experience, I am looking to secure the
position of Solar Sales Project Engineer within the established
organization, which will fully appreciate and utilize my established
abilities while providing new challenges. I am certain I am the best
possible candidate to help meet the team's goals at your company.
I do have direct technical sales experience for years in the gas/diesel
engine power generation industries including Waukesha, Detroit Diesel,
Caterpillar and Kohler engines/generator sets. Throughout my many years of
experience as an sales/application engineer and project manager, I
developed and demonstrated strong abilities in consulting, market
developing, designing, construction, procurement and contracting
administration, including technical support and proposal presentation. My
capability also extends to coordination with engineering and document
control with reviewing specifications and drawings. Throughout the
project, two basic principles are always my fundamental goals: to satisfy
the customer and to increase profit for the company. These complement my
dual ability to successfully think from an engineer's point of view as well
as that of a businessman's. Even though I do not have direct experience in
the solar energy industries, my many years of experience in the power
generation industry, especially with diesel engine and renewable energy-gas
engine generator applications, should benefit me with a fundamental
understanding of distributed power generation, energy management, utility
interconnection and communication. Also my experiences as a sales
engineer, application engineer, and project manager brace me with an in-
depth and broad understanding of technical sales and build up the ability
to administer multiple projects simultaneously.
The combination of my extensive background and strong work ethic make me an
excellent match for the position of Solar Sales Project Engineer. Attached
is my resume with further description of my qualifications. I greatly
welcome the opportunity to interview with you. Thank you for your time and
consideration, and I look forward to your future correspondence.
Sincerely,
James Kim

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
2009 - Present : - Consulting in various engineering projects especially in
power generation industries in several Asian countries,
including a project feasibility study in a technical and
economical perspective, providing technical information, and
selecting the best suitable equipment provider, and etc. Also

2004 - Sep. 2008 : Stewart and Stevenson Power, Inc.
Application Sales Engineer /Project Manager
Stewart Stevenson Power was a dealer of Waukesha
Engine/Generator Sets and Detroit Diesel Engine/Generator Sets
covering several states in Rocky Mountain Region.
- Most of the projects provided needed power for gas/diesel
engine generator systems including heat recovery systems, fuel
gas (Natural Gas, Oil Well Gas, wastewater plant gas, and etc.)
treatment and preparation, electric power paralleling and
control and communication. The covered industries were gas/oil
fields, wastewater treatment plants, municipal water projects,
landfill gas, mining industry and etc.
For the renewable energy field (municipal wastewater treatment
plant gas, land fill gas, digest gas), gas analysis was
carefully performed and project feasibility was studied, which
always included life cycle assessments. Proper gas treatment
and preparation was also proposed. Electric power generated from
these renewable sources were used by the plant or exported to
power grids through the paralleling switchgear systems.
Adequate power load control and protection relay systems were
also planned and designed.
All projects were started after careful evaluation and analysis
of both engineering and business aspects, and later a detailed
procurement was followed.
As a project manager, I made sure the project was scheduled on-
time without any missing items, and made my top priority the
ensuring of equipment and installation meeting project intent.
Throughout the entire process I create and present several
reports and analyses of both technical and economic factors. I
also demonstrated the ability to satisfy the customer and
increase profit at the same time by eliminating unnecessary
items or re-negotiating with engineers and customers.

solutions to the customers in both technical and economic
aspects.

better solutions for the project, and worked with engineers to
