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
