Inquiry about job position with prior extensive technician experience.
Dear Blain Mugleston,
Please accept my resume for a job position. I was recommended by Michael Frank. I am looking for any position that would be
suitable for me. I am confident that my background and skills as a technician will prove to be an effective match for your qualifications.
I have had a great deal of experience as a Meter Tech and in customer service, both indoors and in the field. In the field, I have a wide
range of knowledge working with meters and special read accounts. In customer service, I have effective interaction skills.
While working for National Grid, I successfully applied my technician skills and worked closely with commercial and residential
accounts. I also supported the company in completing assigned restoration tasks while recording and analyzing massive amounts of
data, and GPS locating service skills. This experience gave me the opportunity to work closely with a team of technicians, and helped
me to understand the importance of good technician practice.
My technician experiences have been positive ones due in part to my interpersonal skills, and bilingual abilities in English and Spanish.
I work well in teams, am reliable and organized, and enthusiastic to learn. I am sure that I will carry over the same enthusiasm and
skills in doing work for your company.
Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Christopher Ramos
