As you can see from my resume, I have a solid history of producing results within a limited
budget. I have thirty-six years of experience in a broad range of functions in operations and
management and twenty-four years of experience in effective management of environmental,
health, and safety issues as well as assessment of and compliance with federal, state, and
local environmental, health, and safety regulations. Because I rose to management positions
from the factory floor, I have insight into industrial human resource and other management
issues from the perspectives of both labor and management and am able to build a strong
rapport across staff categories. I have extensive experience in successful contract negotiation
and management of inventories and operating budgets and have designed, built, and
implemented effective and policy-compliant industrial systems, particularly waste treatment
systems. I have also been able to deal effectively with customers, executives, vendors, and
other company stakeholders on a regular basis, building successful teams and achieving
positive results for the company. All of these achievements are critical to firms such as yours
that must compete in today’s difficult, rapidly changing economy. In addition, I am motivated
and enthusiastic and would appreciate the chance to contribute to your firm’s success.
I would appreciate the chance for a personal interview to further discuss this opportunity. I
will contact you in two weeks to see if you require any additional information regarding my
qualifications. Thank you for your attention, and I hope that we will be able to meet in the
near future.
Sincerely,
Robert A. Boudinot
