half years experience as a Project Manager and over five years of
experience as a carpenter. I have gained valuable experience and skills
which would make me a strong candidate for this position:

including as a carpenter, an Assistant Project Manager, and Project
Manager. I am 100% comfortable with large or small teams.
. I have worked with owners, handicapped residents, subcontractors, and
inspectors which required me to develop excellent communication
skills. Through these experiences I have also demonstrated the
ability to learn quickly and adapt to constantly changing schedules.
. I am proficient in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Outlook
along with other programs such as AutoCad, Expedition and Adobe
Acrobat.
. I am always willing to learn new processes, computer programs, and
whatever it takes to get the job done well.
. I was promoted from Assistant Project Manager to Project Manager at
FCL Builders Inc. within seven months of initial employment.
