that I can bring a broad spectrum of skills and abilities to the company . I have an insider’s knowledge of day to day operations in a

big box Lowe’s store, and I understand the way to get things accomplished when working with Sales, Zone and Department

Managers. I would consider relocation should you determine my skills and abilities warrant an offer of employment.
