Dear Sir or Madam
The enclosed resume highlights over twenty years’ experience in welding and as a
manager in a manufacturing environment. In my current position as a manager and
fabrication welder I am responsible for all the profitability and all aspects from start to
finish in the preparation of materials for the installation of structural steel construction.
At this point I am interested in exploring a new challenge. My goal is to join a firm in a
position that requires immediate use of the skills that I have acquired. You will find me
to be an effective hands-on leader, who is highly organized and able to communicate
effectively in both English and Spanish.
I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss my background in greater detail in a
personal interview.
Sincerely,
Raul Castillo
Attachment
