Dear Hiring Manager:
I've made a commitment to stay with my Mom in her declining years - she
wants to live out her life in the home where she raised her kids. Such a
commitment brings out the best in me in terms of professionalism and
dedication.
Fortunately, I've had training and experience in a number of areas
including customer service (both internal and external), computer and
software technology, small vehicle operation (forklifts, bobcats, and
Dynalifts), and some mechanical assembly.
Also, when I say this I sound like I'm bragging but I'm not. I've
consistently proven throughout my working life that I'm one of the most
hardworking and efficient employees a company can hire. I'm the guy the
boss looks out and sees working (I'll grab a broom and sweep if there's
nothing else that needs done) when everybody else is standing around.
I'm a quick learner which I do best by doing. I make people around me
laugh. I like to keep the atmosphere really upbeat. Yet as productive as
possible.
I've had several jobs where I did some quite heavy lifting (some of the
valves at Barrick goldmine weigh 100 lbs) and where the job required me to
stand almost the entire shift. These things I can do with no problem.
I hope to continue my college education in the near future. I was within
15 units of graduation from California State University in Sacramento when
I had to relocate to Wells to help out my aging mother. My field is
Communication Studies, Mass Media emphasis.
I look forward to interviewing with you in the very near future. Thanks
for your time.
Sincerely,
Dean Berry
