To The Hiring Manager,
There are some very important things that give me a head above many of those competing in the job market
today. The first of which, is my education in theater. It is because of my theatre training that I possess a high
level of oral communication skills. My education has given me the advantage of being able to speak to just
about anyone and relate information that needs to be related. This is a valuable asset in any field. My creative
problem solving skills are also well above average, "There is always more than one way to skin a cat" is a
motto that I live by. I also don't believe in just "getting it done". I believe in "getting it done right". I give 100%,
and then some, and rise to the occasion in whatever task I am called to do. I am a strong team player and
work very well with others. Collaboration breeds new ideas and opportunities that aren’t always seen by one
person on their own. While I am capable of setting out on a task alone, like nearly all human beings, I am much
stronger with the help of a team. Working in theater I have learned to budget time effectively as time is always
of importance. I am a strong spirited self starter and know when it is time to put my nose to the grindstone.
I have a great respect and understanding of deadlines. I have respect for authority and co-workers as well.
Respect is the foundation of any relationship. I possess great flexibility and work well under pressure. I am
self disciplined, dedicated and have a strong willingness to accept responsibility. I take to leadership quite
naturally, am self confident, and most importantly I take joy in the smallest of wins and am not disheartened by
the losses that may come my way. I promise to be an asset to your team and promise you will have no regret
in hiring me. Thank you for time and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
John Glen Vandermark
