Resume:
Attn: Human Resources Manager
Re: Production Supervisor Position
Confidential Loves Park, Il.
Dear Sir or Madam,
Please accept my resume for review and consideration for the position of
Production Supervisor within your company as seen on ResumeBook360.
I have a diverse background in manufacturing having been involved as a
designer, manufacturer, and consumer of manufactured goods my entire
career. Prior to the closure of APV Rockford we were quite involved in the
development and manufacture of production and packaging equipment for the
food and beverage industry. I have spent the last four years involved in
dramatically increasing the quality and productivity at North American Tool
through committed efforts applying lean principles, team building and
leadership development.
Having been released from my previous position the beginning of this year,
due to the present economic conditions, I am available for immediate
employment to aid your company in continuing its growth.
Please call my home number any time if you have an interest in discussing
my qualifications in more detail.
Please find my resume attached.
Yours truly,
Walter C. Peucker
