Manual Machinist-Journeyman/CNC Machinist Trainee

To: Hiring Director

Re: Machinist position

From: Larry Moriello

Thank you for your consideration of and attention to this cover letter/resume of introduction. I am seeking a position with a company to achieve my goal of transitioning back into the industry with the skills that this day and age require.

I have been out of the industry for the past 20 plus years, beginning in 1988, when I left my trade as a machinist to pursue a career in the food service industry. It is time to return to the job I truly enjoyed. By attending classes to gain proficiency in a new set of skills necessary to achieve this transition and return to this industry is and will be an asset to any shop in which I may be employed.

However, I feel confident that ANY ENTRY LEVEL CNC OR MANUAL MACHINIST position being offered is one that I can perform the duties and responsibilities of with/without further training, and, I can become a more valuable asset as my training continues

Given a chance to interview and get my foot in the door would be appreciated.
