Dear Hiring Professional:

Please consider this letter of introduction as an expression of my interest

in exploring and identifying career opportunities with your organization.

My r sum is enclosed for your review and consideration.

I am exploring new professional challenges and seeking an opportunity to

transition my experience into a new organization in need of strong and

decisive operating leadership. I have over 25 years experience in high-

volume, plant-manufacturing environments with a diverse mix of products and

technologies. Through a strategy of continuous improvement and teamwork, I

am dedicated to establishing the highest industry standards for quality,

value, and service.

Working to continuously improve processes and product quality through the

latest technologies, I have implemented innovative continuous improvement

and cost reduction/avoidance initiatives and operating solutions to improve

productivity, enhance efficiencies, and accelerate profit gains. I have

strong qualifications in plant management, quality assurance, logistics,

and associated distribution functions. I am confident that my work ethic

and tenacity will prove to be equally effective in achieving the same

success with your organization.

I attribute my success to date to several key factors: (1) a capacity for

continued personal and professional growth (2) advanced interpersonal and

analytical skills, (3) ability to find structural solutions to

manufacturing and business problems, and (4) ability to deliver volume and

accuracy in a performance-critical environment.

I am confident that the strength of my experience, combined with my

dedication, energy, commitment, and attitude, will add measurable value to

your organization. I would appreciate an opportunity to meet with you to

discuss your needs and my potential to contribute as team member. In the

interim, thank you for your attention, consideration, and forthcoming

response.

Sincerely,

Tomas Estrada
