Dear Sir / Madam;
I am interested in discussing the possibility of employment, which includes a
Management / Supervisor Position within your company.
Recently, I managed several Residential Properties and I used to manage a local
insurance agency that sells Property, Auto and Commercial protection. Here, I utilized the
workload of a Customer Service Writer [CSW] in the office and an Underwriter that
works from Head Office in order to grow the business.
I used to be a Real Estate Sales Representative and because I am a self motivator, high
achiever, I don’t mind putting in long days. Because of this, I know I would be a
valuable asset to your company. I have vast knowledge of the Mortgage Financing
Business, having spent 2 years as a Mortgage Manager and screening prospective clients
and determine their eligibility for a loan for Residential, Multi Residential and
Commercial Properties.
I was employed with the Saint John Drydock for 3 years as a Maintenance Supervisor on
Night Shift; hence I had a crew of 14 trades personnel, which consisted of Electricians,
Pipe fitters, Machinists and Mechanics. There was a time for at least 1 month each
Summer, I would fill in as Cleaning Supervisor and take charge of an additional 28
Cleaning Personnel.
I am honest, hard working and highly motivated. For 10 years, I owned and operated the
Quick Lube Centre in Saint John, NB. My experience in efficient planning of work and
resources, as well as the ability to deal with co-workers and thousands of customers,
assured successful business years.
The business was also computerized and I had to update the records for sales and supplies
on a weekly basis. The software packages I am familiar with are Microsoft Excel Spread
Sheets, Quatro Pro, Word Perfect, Microsoft Office, Filogix and Simply Accounting 6.0.
I also, for 12 years, used to be a Marine Engineer in the Canadian Forces. There, I was
given numerous responsibilities and courses in the trade. This accumulated expertise in
supervision and training, led to my assuming the position of Chief of the Engine Room
Department.
I can provide references and any other information you may require. In pursuit of
prospective Employment, I am willing to travel.
Yours truly,
Edgar Young
