My grandfather had started Smith Electric Co. in 1947 and my father had inherited the business in 1981, this has been
our family’s life work. My official training started when I got accepted into the IBEW local 150 at the age of 21 and
completed a five year apprenticeship and training course.
You will find I work hard, learn fast and can assume responsibilities with minimal supervision. Able and willing to assist
in any type of work, I am a good team player and I work well with different kinds of people. When I am given a job to do
and report it complete, you can rest assured it has been done to the best of my ability.
Should you have an opening in your organization for a person with my qualifications, or should you be anticipating one
in the near future, I would very much appreciate meeting with you for a personal interview at which time we can
discuss in greater detail how my experience and genuine enthusiasm for getting the job done, getting it done safe and
getting it done right will benefit your company.
If the above position is not immediately available, I am willing to start at a lesser position where I can demonstrate how
my dedication, motivation and strong work ethic will be a valuable contribution to your company.
Sincerely,
Scott J Smith
