Dear Hiring Manager:
It is hard to summarize the last 15 years into two short pages. It’s even harder to describe the attributes I can bring to a prospective company in the same frame.
I am a Navy veteran. I served with the Blue Angels, onboard an aircraft carrier during Desert Storm and as an electrical instructor. I built and managed a multi-million dollar company that focused primarily on service and customer satisfaction. I developed a service department of more than 100 men and women that for fifteen years boasted no complaints of quality and not one safety incident. I am extremely hands on and enjoy being part of the activity. I am an avid hunter, fisherman, and horseman.
It is my desire to find a company in need of an experienced leader and a dedicated professional. I am not opposed to travel, long days or hard work. I will gladly use my skills, knowledge and experiences to the betterment of my future employer.
Sincerely,
John R. Christian

Objective
To secure permanent employment with an established company that can utilize the skills and knowledge I have obtained over the years. I would gladly dedicate myself to a company with a clear vision of their future that also has a history of stable performance and sustained employee retention. It is my desire to retire from this company having learned and shared the knowledge, culture and virtues of this company.
