Attn: Hiring Manager
Dear Madam/Sir:
Please accept my resume for your current open position as a CI Specialist.
Since graduating from MSOE (Milwaukee School of Engineering) with Bachelor
of Science in Business Management with a concentration in Operations
Management on November 21, 2009, I have been working in the capacity of a
CI/Lean Engineer at a manufacturing facility located in New Berlin, WI. I
believe your current opening for a CI Specialist would be a fantastic
opportunity to share more of my Operations Management, Continuous Quality
Management, Six Sigma and Lean Techniques experience. Additionally, it
would be an opportunity to continue to use the training and support skills
I currently rely upon daily.
Please know that I can bring to your organization a combination of the
skills and knowledge I have acquired both in school and in my working
experiences in a manner that will be both professional and create the
successful business match you seek. I have reviewed your business
strategies and structure and am confident that I bring with me the
background and knowledge to assist you with continued growth and success.
I am team-oriented and loyal but am self-motivated enough to work
autonomously, too. I am comfortable working with people at every level in
an organization and it is my goal to be the catalyst for success while
working with all of them. My education and work experiences have given me
the foundation from which I have learned to lead others through conflict
resolution, delegation and "work-by-example". I also know how to meet
deadlines, please customers, and get the job done right!
As you can see from my resume, I have spent a considerable amount of my
work life in entry level or non-management positions. My reason for
returning to college as a non-traditional (older) student was to ensure
that I could propel myself forward rather than limiting my career
opportunities. Gaining a position with your organization would be an
invaluable step in achieving my goals.
I am grateful for the time and attention you have shared with me today and
I look forward to hearing back from you in regard to your current opening
in the very near future. Please feel free to contact me at
*******@*****.*** or via telephone at 414-***-****.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
Patrick Pope
