Dear Hiring Manager,

Enclosed you will find my resume in consideration for a position within your organization. With almost 17 years of successful, honorable service in the military, I am seeking an opportunity to utilize my education, training, logistics management and leadership experience to add value to any position I am hired into.

I joined the National Guard in 1997 as an enlisted member. In 2000 I graduated from Officer Candidate School and was commissioned a second lieutenant, all while working full time in heavy construction and miscellaneous trucking jobs. My intention was to meet the minimum active duty requirement in conjunction with my private sector career. One of my first assignments was to lead a team as part of the post-September 11th security, rescue and recovery mission in NYC. That experience enhanced my dedication and commitment to the armed services. Subsequently, I have held multiple full time positions in combination with active duty assignments.

Highlights that may be of particular interest include the following:

- Chief of Logistics (J4) Task force Sandy. After Super Storm Sandy devastated NYC, I was responsible for leading the sustainment efforts of National Guard personnel assigned to relief efforts establishing a logistical plan that delivered food, water, fuel, equipment, and vehicles where needed.

- Trained, mentored, and maximized potential of direct reports; established standards of excellence and provided motivational leadership to create high-performing teams. Created and delivered training programs that increased soldier preparedness for deployment to Iraq.

- Demonstrated methodical, thought leadership to develop strategic plans and oversee execution with an acute attention to detail and organizational skills; managed millions of dollars in military equipment and systems.

- Applied management principles and methodologies to develop and execute logistics with a focus on efficiency and cost containment; well versed in transporting, relocating, tracking, and allocating resources, including staff, equipment, and supplies to domestic and international locations.

- Commanded a Brigade Headquarters Company in a combat zone; completed a 12-month combat tour in Iraq and exhibited grace under pressure to make critical decisions with a focus on goal attainment and risk management. Flew 130 combat hours as a UH-60 Blackhawk Helicopter Pilot.

- Collaborated with interdisciplinary teams and interfaced with cross-functional and culturally diverse individuals to work toward the attainment of overarching goals.

I welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss my credentials in a personal interview. Please feel free to utilize the contact information referenced above to schedule a convenient time to meet. Thank you for your time and consideration; I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Paul M. Engel Jr.
