Cover Letter

Dear Sir or Madam: Attached is my resume for

your consideration. I am interested in a position which matches my experience and skills in engineering and business administration. I am a collaborative and results oriented leader with proven success in building teams/organizations, managing projects, implementing change and delivering corporate savings. I have proven expertise in: Finance, Construction & Engineering, Contract management, Leadership and Coaching, Project Management, Strategic Procurement, Innovation and Quality initiatives, and Budget Management. I have traveled extensively and lived and worked in Japan and The Netherlands. I am particularly interested in international job opportunities. I hold advanced degrees in civil engineering and business administration from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Harvard, respectively. I am a registered Professional Engineer in California and Texas. My career includes construction and engineering, project management and executive responsibility for financial planning, project economic analysis and supply chain services (materials management, contract services, fleet management, warehouse operations and strategic procurement initiatives). I have demonstrated skills in building an organization, managing change and developing and implementing strategic plans to improve operations. I have proven abilities in continuous improvement of processes, leading teams, developing and maintaining effective working relationships at all levels of an organization, managing budgets, financial planning, and analysis of financial statements. As part of a new post-merger corporate "shared services" organization, my leadership skills and ability to effectively interface at all levels within affiliate business units has been an asset in organizational development. My education and work experiences have provided me with excellent organizational, communication and change management skills, and the ability to effectively work with people. In my current position, VP Supply Chain Services, I am responsible for supporting the materials, services and equipment needs of a Fortune 500, $6 billion dollar energy services corporation. Due to our recent merger, building the organization and defining and implementing our strategic direction is also a key component of my job. My previous positions in business development and project management enhanced my skills in marketing, developing corporate strategy and successful execution of business plans. I have also had the unique opportunity to spend two years leading an Exxon production division in instituting Dr. Deming's principles of Total Quality Management. I believe that my skills, experience, and motivation would be an excellent match for your management positions. My core competencies include: strategic thinking, achieving results, establishing plans and managing execution, communicating effectively, championing change and process improvements, building organizational relationships, analyzing problems and making decisions. I look forward to speaking with you to further explore if my skills match your needs. I can be reached at 614-***-****. Sincerely, Mary C. Bloom
