Director
of
human
resources,
I
am
submitting
this
letter
and
resume
to
you
today,
in
an
attempt
to
gain
employment
with
your
firm
and
become
a
valuable
team
member
within
your
company.
I
will
rely
on
excellent
communication
and
interpersonal
skills,
as
well
as
relevant
industry
experience
and
good
old-
fashioned
dedication
to
excel
and
add
value
to
your
business.
As
my
resume
highlights,
following
High
School,
I
decided
to
pursue
the
trades
industry.
My
skill
set
and
motivation
is
heavily
based
on
experiential
learning
and
using
my
ability
to
complete
mathematical
problems
on
the
spot.
I
very
much
enjoyed
conversing
directly
with
clients
and
vendors
as
well
as
working
outdoors
in
a
project
focused
environment.
I
began
working
in
the
area
of
construction
and
property
care/maintenance.
Within
a
year
my
hard
work
was
rewarded
with
a
promotion
to
manager
of
a
lawn
and
grounds
maintenance
business
serving
over
600
properties/clients.
My
time
spent
managing
the
lawn
and
grounds
company
provided
me
with
invaluable
experience
and
a
wealth
of
knowledge.
However,
I
wanted
to
continue
to
challenge
myself
and
gain
further
experience
in
the
construction
side
of
landscaping.
I
was
offered
a
job
with
a
large
commercial
construction
company
(Sitescape)
where
I
acquired
skills
in
landscaping
and
job
site
problem
solving
while
complying
with
drawings,
and
permit
requirements.
I
prided
myself
in
maintaining
a
positive
relationship
with
my
peers
and
superiors
as
well
as
with
the
clients.
I
gained
experience
in
commercial
construction,
not
only
as
a
trained
machine
operator
but
also
related
to
quoting
site
jobs
and
developing
realistic
timelines
in
which
to
deliver
the
final
product.
I’ve
become
confident
in
my
skills
to
negotiate
job
quotes
in
accordance
with
the
related
material
and
labour
costs
involved.
I
feel
very
confident
in
this
area
with
the
experience
I’ve
gained
while
at
Sitescape.
Following
my
time
at
Sitescape,
I
joined
forces
with
a
colleague
to
start
our
own
residential
landscaping
company,
Mint
Landscaping
Inc.
For
6
years
I
was
co-
owner
of
Mint
Landscaping.
I
gained
first
hand
knowledge
of
the
hardships
and
sensitivity
required
when
dealing
with
and
retaining
clients
for
my
own
business.
My
experience
has
taught
me
how
to
manage
many
types
of
situations
to
ensure
the
client
holds
trust
in
our
ability
to
fulfill
all
the
specific
client
needs
and
expectations
during
the
life
of
the
project.
I’ve
learned
that
while
there
is
great
importance
to
keeping
projects
on
the
desired
timeline
and
staying
within
budget,
the
goals
and
objectives
of
the
client
must
remain
in
clear
focus.
Effective
communication
and
client
relationship
skills
helped
me
to
be
successful
throughout
my
career.
While
running
Mint
Landscaping
I
enhanced
my
abilities
relating
to
job
estimating,
design
creation,
contract
completion
and
project
time
management
in
order
to
generate
optimal
top
line
revenue.
I
was
involved
in
every
aspect
of
this
company
as
my
partner
and
I
built
it
from
the
ground
up.
Mint
Landscaping
still
provides
the
GTA
with
quality
work
and
service
as
it
always
has.
I
have
enrolled
in
the
Humber
College
Business
Certificate
Program
in
Toronto
with
a
goal
to
obtain
an
estimator’s
certificate
and
pursue
a
position
with
an
established
construction
company.
While
doing
so,
I
resigned
from
the
Mint
Landscaping
partnership
and
took
a
position
with
Sitescape,
my
previous
employer.
I
look
forward
to
hearing
from
you
to
discuss
my
skills
and
how
I
may
help
contribute
to
your
company
long
term.
Please
see
my
attached
resume.
