Good morning:
I was excited to learn about the opening in your Procurement Department. I believe my experience in purchasing and sales within the oil and gas industry makes me a great potential candidate.
For two years, I was the Purchasing Manager for Denmark Manufacturing Inc (DMI). During that time, I also held responsibilities in sales, bookkeeping, invoicing, and warehouse logistics. I understand the importance of a deadline and have always endeavored to make certain that purchased materials arrive on time and up to specifications. I strive to maintain good relationships with vendors as I have learned that has a colossal effect on getting orders in a timely and correct manner. I am willing to go the distance when it comes to getting companies to place competitive bids against each other.
I also have experience in inventory management. At DMI, I was responsible for keeping inventory on tools, materials used, waste and recyclable materials. At the time, DMI was a new and growing business. I developed an inventory catalog via Microsoft Excel, along with a scheduling system that helped jump start the growth of the company.
I assure you that my performance would be a great fit for your company. I am a hardworking, self-driven individual who is looking to be challenged when I walk into work every morning. Please, grant me an opportunity to meet you in person so I can tell you firsthand what an asset I could be to your company. I may be reached on the contact details given.
Sincerely,
Christian Corn
