Customer Service Engineering

To whom it may concern,

My name is Steve Thornburg and I would greatly appreciate if you to take the time to review my resume and current job description. I believe that I would be a great candidate for potential hire. I am the type of guy that can fit in with most work environments and get along well with most people. I strive for perfection and have been known to take on additional tasks for my own personal knowledge of a particular job or job related activity. I am a firm believer in cross-training and that no one person on a team should hold back information that might otherwise advance the group. A team player is what I am known for being, even if that means doing work that might not be my responsibility. I am currently a student at LCC, the last class I completed was Business Math 117, but I decided to postpone my education as my family started expanding, and I started pursuing better carrier oppertunities. I would like to return to school and complete my college education, and possibly pursue even higher degree.

Please contact me if you have any question,
