I n the interest of applying for a management position with your company, please find my
resume enclosed with this letter.
For the last 3 years, I have been employed at Kelly Aerospace. Hi red as a member of a new
team brought in to reorganize the Machine Shop, my main objective was to create a more
s treamlined and efficient manufacturing environment. I designed and implemented a ‘first
p iece’ inspection program which greatly reduced non-conforming material. In turn, this
i ncreased productivity. My team created a new 5S program as well. Over the course of
approximately a 2 year period, the Machine Shop productivity more than doubled and non-
conforming material was reduced to less that 1.5%.
I n March of 2010, I was promoted to Manager of Core Processing at Kelly Aerospace. This
a rea had not been given much focus for the past several years and I set about implementing
lean practices and reorganizing this area thereby more than doubling the volume of product
p roduced.
W hile I have enjoyed the experience at Kelly Aerospace and the recent opportunity in Core
P rocessing, my desire is to be involved in manufacturing and quality and would very much
l ike to get back in to this environment.
Some of the strengths I would bring with my employment are my excellent people skills. I
am very organized, detail-oriented, think fast on my feet, and very much dedicated to the
policy of doing i t r ight the fi rst time. Employees that I have had over the years have
demonstrated loyalty and respect toward me. I feel that I have been able to engender that
f rom them through my positive attitude and t reating them with respect and letting them
k now my expectations clearly.
As a manager with your company, I feel that I would be able to make a substantial
contribution to your profitability, productivity and operational efficiency. I am confident
t hat you would not be disappointed having me as a member of your management team.
As a resume gives only a brief int roduction, please allow me the opportunity of a personal
i nterview. I would be happy to discuss my salary history and requirements at that t ime.
T hank you, in advance, for your consideration. I look forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
M ichael Coffel
