Subject: Designer/Draftsman
To Whom It May Concern:
The search for your next team member has now come to fruition. I am confident my extensive background and accomplishments is the
perfect match and I am eager to be the Designer/Draftsman for your company.
You will find in my enclosed resume that my credentials will infinitely contribute to the success of your company as well as offer you the
opportunity to employ a professional who needs little or no training and produces effective results. Since 2006, I have participated in the
success of multiple governmental structures, high end residences, manufacturing facilities with commercial space, and renovations for
academic and church projects, all of which involved innovation and precision to detail.
As an experienced assistant project manager and architectural designer, I have the knowledge and skill to initiate construction and
building design, formulate and review both administrative and construction documents, and see projects to completion within time and
budget. Due to the instability of the economy and construction industry, I have held numerous jobs. However, all of which have provided
me with invaluable experience that I am certain will be profitable to your company.
I am genuinely motivated in advancing my career with you as your Designer or Draftsman, and, with my desire to adapt and develop my
design and managerial skills to new challenges I believe there is no other person for this position.
Please consider my request for a personal interview to further discuss my qualifications, skills, and to gain a better understanding of this
opportunity. To set up an interview, you can reach me by cell phone at 302-***-**** or by email at ******.******@*******.***.
Thank you for your consideration and for this opportunity. I look forward to speaking with you.
Best regards,
Ernest S. Turner III
