I am interested in a position in your company's drafting
department. My job history is varied, but I have been around this
industry all my life. I have worked efficiently with engineers and
designers. My problem solving skills have been enhanced with my
previous positions. My capability for learning new software has been
tested on many occasions having used many CAD software packages
proficiently. After learning drafting, I started with Microstation in
the electrical discipline and am now proficient in AutoCAD 2009,
Raster design, and Cadworks in the civil discipline. I have
experience in both commercial and industrial fields. Other jobs and
responsibilities have prepared me to work well with people, as well as
sharpen my management and organization skills. I feel these
experiences have prepared me for further employment in this industry.
Sincerely,
Keith McGrew
