Dear Recruiting Manager,

Over the past ten years I have skillfully planned, managed, and personally

labored on every painting project that Complete Coverage Painting has

undertaken. A high level of development and growth has been attained

through: 1-hireing and training outstanding cross-functional, diverse

teams, 2-generating extensive cost savings through implementation of start

of the art techniques and pricing negotiations with suppliers, and 3-

creating contracts and project schedules to meet and exceed demanding

deadlines. These successes as well as my proven abilities in cost

estimation, regulatory compliance, data analysis, and employee evaluation

as well as customer satisfaction have prepared me to undertake a high level

position at your company. I am confident that I can be a valuable asset to

your team.

Since graduating from Concord University with a Bachelor of Science degree

in Marketing as well as a Bachelor of Science in Business Management I grew

and stabilized my business to a point where I was able to sell my business

to further my career objectives as well as my academic pursuits as an

attorney. During my time operating Complete Coverage Painting we became

synonymous with terms such as quality and reliability by consistently

optimizing my team's skills and resources to deliver complex projects on-

time and under budget. A sample of my notable achievement includes the

following:

1. In 2007 negotiated and signed a contract to complete the exterior

painting on the 38 unit Dogwood Court Condominium Complex at Glade

Springs Resort in Daniels, West Virginia. Project began in the

summer of 07 and was completed in the summer of 2008, three months

before scheduled completion.

2. Signed contract with Mountain State University located in Beckley,

West Virginia from 2007-2009 to provide services for all painting

needs, this included completion of over 70 projects in that time

period.

3. Complete Coverage Painting began as a small residential repaint

operation, after years of growth in skill and experience we were

able to shift our focus from residential contracts into the more

demanding and lucrative commercial contracts.

4. Commercial contracts completed included projects such as Pet Smart

retail location, Hobby Lobby and T.J.Max shopping center, Kmart and

Rite Aid Pharmacies, several Advanced Auto retail locations, AT&T

retail location, numerous projects for White Oak land corporation,

Food Lion and Tudors biscuit world shopping center in Beckley,

Military Recruiting Center, and Crook Brothers Commercial Produce

distribution center.

For additional information about my skills, background, and accomplishments

please review my resume. I hope we have the opportunity to discuss this

position and my qualifications in person, by phone or email. Thank you very

much for your time-I look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,

Matthew Helton

Seeking

Throughout my life I have come to believe that human happiness/success

and moral duty are inseparably connected, that promoting the progress of

the former is accomplished through an established practice of the latter.

Therefore chiefly I am seeking a full time sales management, project

and/or personnel management position with an organization that emphasizes

unity, strong virtuous leadership within the organization as well as a

sense of moral duty to society. I would also like to enjoy freedom to

integrate myself into the company by implementation of policies and

procedures that have contributed to my business successes. This

integration will contribute to the long term growth and success of

chiefly my employer but also me and my family. A position that is endowed

with leadership responsibilities which include but are not limited to:

problem solving, planning of budgets, timelines, and teams to effectively

harness and apply each individual's skills to the task at hand. Creating

and implementing short and long term goals and the strategies necessary

to obtain those goals. Creating customer satisfaction surveys and

maintaining a high level of quality and assuring this quality level

through an extensive quality assurance program. Although ideally I would

like to enter the company at a high position of leadership where I

believe I can best contribute, I understand that a person must be well

tried before he earns responsibility, trust and confidence. Therefore, I

am willing to enter into the ranks at a lower position, where I can learn

and earn the confidence and respect of every person at each level, also

becoming an expert on the operations of every aspect of the company.

Either path I hope will lead to a long term career where I hope my name

will become indistinguishable from their own. Also I maintain a strong

belief that every man has a duty to the society in which he resides, a

duty to harness the abilities he has been endowed with by his creator and

use those abilities to give back to his fellow men and through this

contribution eventually earn the esteem of his fellow countrymen. I

believe that I have been called to work in the area of law; therefore it

would bring the highest joy if I were able to work with a company who

would support my calling by contributing financially to the acquisition

of my J.D. in return for retention of my legal services in the future.
