Cover letter
Michael Furman
Opelousas, LA 70570
My outgoing personality, my sales experience, my mechanical abilities and my recently
completed education make me a strong candidate for any position I am offered. I have great
intellectual health that enables me to be able to learn fast, while being able to effectively problem
solve.
I recently graduated from the University of Phoenix with a degree in business, where I also
received my finance certificate.
Although a recent graduate, I am not new to the work force. I have had many opportunities over
the last ten years that have allowed me the knowledge needed to see a variety of businesses run
effectively.
I have the maturity, skills, and abilities to embark on a career that is rewarding for my family in
the oilfield industry, and I'd like to do this anywhere within the United States.
I currently reside in Louisiana, and I am just in need of an opportunity to present my knowledge,
hard work, initiative and dedication for the right opportunity.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Michael Furman
