Construction Project

To whom it may concern,

I’m Jim Simpson and I hope you will consider me for the position of construction superintendent.

I was particularly interested to see a position open with your firm. Reading over your description of the

job, I recognized myself. As you will see on my attached resume, I have more than thirty years

experience in the private and Government sectors.

Additionally, I am an efficient and versatile supervisor. I specialize in identifying possible complications

and eliminating them thus ensuring a problem free project. I’ve never missed a project closeout date (on

a performance review, my supervisor once said “Jim anticipates possible problems and eliminates

them”). I pride myself on being able to manage projects from initial survey to occupancy.

My skills and experience is an excellent match with what you are seeking, I am excited about the chance

to work with you.

Please see my resume and abbreviated list of completed projects as well as former positions I have held.

I will supply a list of references upon request.

If you would like to speak with me or schedule an interview please call 571-***-**** or e-mail

********@*****.***. Thank you for your consideration.

Regards,

Jim Simpson
