Resume:

COVER LETTER

Dear Manager,

I am a registered crane operator currently working full time in

Perth CBD, Western Australia. I have been working for one of

Australia's biggest developing construction companies; Diploma

for the past 5 years. Initially I worked as a rigger; I then

completed my registration as a crane operator in 2006. Over the

last few years, working as a crane operator I have been

requested to work on the highest building constructions in Perth

CBD, been given 3 pay rises and been given several job offers

from construction owners and supervisors that have come in

contact with my work / come on site. A typical day for me

involves; liaising with supervisors and contractors, rigging

loads, assessing and selecting appropriate lifting equipment,

and executing numerous types of lifts.

I enjoy working on the ground with my co-workers, being involved

in the day to day lift scheduling, rigging loads, and most

importantly crane operating.

On average I work between 50 to 70 hours a week, I am

contracted to work 45 hours a week, but am often called up to do

longer hours and at times 7 instead of 6 days.

I have been eager to work abroad, for a while now, and in my

recent travels to USA felt the states was it. While travelling

in the states I sat my prac crane operating licence. I passed

and have received my NCCCO certificate for this. I now only need

to complete and pass my written exam after which I will be a

fully licensed crane operator in the states. As I will be

gaining my E3 visa to move and work in the states I am just

looking for a place of work before I make the international

move. I will plan location and other details around my place of

work. My wife and I are keen to travel based on my employment as

much as we are keen to stay in one place. I have my

international driver's licence, which I utilized on my recent

travels to the USA in which I travelled the states over three

months.

I am eager to begin work in the USA and after receiving my

employment confirmation hope to be crane operating / rigging as

soon as January this coming year (2014). I am open to contract

work from 6 months to a year or more (as E3 visa is very

flexible with time limits and can be extended).

I have attached to this cover letter my resume (which details my

employment experience), a copy of my NCCCO certificate (still

current as recently obtained).

Please let me know if you require any further information, or

have any questions, in addition feel free to contact my referees

or myself.

Kind regards,

David Langan
