Dear Sirs:
I am seeking a Molding position with a world- class company that has
defined goals. A company that develops focused plans to achieve those goals
through empowered continuous improvement coaches and team members in a lean
environment. I believe the Manufacturing Process Technician opportunity to

Throughout my career I have been afforded many opportunities to learn and
develop strong management, learning, teaching, team motivation, set-up and
processing skills. A consistent what-if attitude, combined with a

training, and my injection, injection blow, and extrusion molding skills.
I will gladly relocate to the Hickory area to secure this position.
I look forward to meeting with you to discuss how we can achieve a
productive future together.
Sincerely,
Marc Robert Powell
