RE: Health and Safety Specialist/Manager

Open Position

June 30, 2010

Dear Sir or Ma'am:

Until I was laid off due to tough economical times for the company

in March 2009, I worked for Golder Associates Inc. in Jacksonville since

I completed my Bachelor's degree at Virginia Tech in 2000. I gained

tremendous experience in the fields of Health and Safety and Industrial

Hygiene. I also used my background in Biology to assist the Geotechnical

and Environmental groups at the Golder Associates Jacksonville office.

My work as a consultant took me to industrial facilities, to remote rural

sites, to commercial and residential complexes, and to an office where I

was responsible for generating high quality written reports. I work hard

whether I wear business attire or a respirator, hard hat and safety

boots. During my search for a permanent job, I have been working as a

substitute teacher at my children's elementary school.

I have contractor oversight, program auditing and employee training

experience. I am accustomed to delivering many types of presentations,

whether using Power Point or merely providing information with eye

contact. I operate well under pressure, and can deliver effective and

clear written or verbal communication to meet project deadlines. I thrive

in the office or the field, and I am capable of business trips; having a

family does not preclude me from travelling if needed.

I enjoy others' company, but I am also capable of working independently.

I have gained experience that gives me strength of character; I am a team

player but am not swayed by others to compromise my values. Other

character skills are listed as follows:

1. Energy and motivation: I believe that anything worth doing is worth

doing well. I am accustomed to delivering high quality products and

hold myself to those standards.

2. Flexibility and stamina: I can multi-task, or I can hold to a static,

focused task until completion.

3. Compatibility and compassion: I enjoy interaction and working with

others to attain goals. I am also excellent at putting myself in

others' shoes to understand their positions.

4. Honesty and integrity: I work hard to avoid errors, but am forthright

about mistakes and take responsibility for my own blunders. I hold

myself and others in high esteem, and do not compromise my values in

communication.

I appreciate your time and consideration. Please see also my attached

resume for details of my experience. Thank you!

Sincerely,
