****.***@****.***

I am a skilled tradesman with over 20 years of experience working in various forms of maintenance and upkeep. In my last job as Maintenance Technician with the Landau Uniforms, I attend to a number of maintenance responsibilities from performing upkeep on machinery to repairing equipment when it breaks down, building maintenance and renovations to upgrade the facilities.

I am a jack of all trades who knows how to repair nearly anything. In addition I am a quick learner able to pick up new skills and routines quickly. Perhaps above all else I pride myself in a strong work ethic and am professional in all I do. I have been praised for always getting the job done efficiently. I would enjoy the chance to bring my skills to the position of Maintenance Worker at your facility.

I am confident that I am a strong contender for this position and know that my qualifications more than meet your needs. Please contact me soon to schedule an in-person interview. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your time.

Best,

Jim Ruth
