To whom it may concern,
My name is John Sully. I am currently seeking employment
and am applying for the Facilities Technician position in
Whitehouse Station.
My previous position was the Property Manager for Merrill
Lynch at their Pennington Facility. It consisted of 8
office buildings, 4 assembly buildings, 1 daycare center,
and 7,000 tenants at the height of its occupancy. My
employment was terminated when the Bank of America
purchased Merrill Lynch. I bring to the table many
strengths, which include managing, facilitating, common
sense, relationship management, and continuous improvement.
I am PC literate and was responsible for a $45M budget to
run the campus.
As you will see from my resume, most of my career has been
in technology (communications). I had no problem making
the transition to Facilities, as technology is used
everywhere. I have a thorough understanding of building
systems (HVAC, power, UPS, generators) and also what these
systems support. If you feel that I would be a good match
for this or any other positions, I would very much like to
discuss them with you.
Thank you for your time.
