Hello. My name is John Kohl. For the past four years I helped a friend
start up a manufacturing facility. As a small start up company I was a
multi-tasker. I set up inventory control procedures to include cycle
counting and proper receipts of vendor materials. I operated production
equipment, shipped customer orders and received vendor inventory.
Prior to this I was an accountant in manufacturing facilities for over
fifteen years. My resume, references and salary history are attached.
Please consider me for this position.
Thank you very much.
