Project Manager Management

Sir/Madam

I hereby submit my resume in respect to subject matter. I am of the firm

opinion that my previous positions as Project Manager, Senior IT Manager

and Lead Analyst, has prepared me well for most positions in Information

Technology Management. I bring to the position a self starter attitude with

the adaptability to change. A consummate team player with proven commitment

and a strong desire to achieve. Together with the skills that I have

documented in my resume, I also bring to the table a high level of

interpersonal skills, solid communication skills and strong follow up

skills. I am a low maintenance person, in that I am a quick learner who

works well with minimal direction.

I am quite confident that you will find me to be an individual who is both

dynamic and energetic, with a high degree of competencies in all aspects of

Information Technology from concept and design to implementation,

documentation and knowledge transfer. I have worked at a senior management

level, where I was given the opportunity to display my expertise in all

facets of the industry. I trust that my resume will find favor with you as

I await your call to go into a little more depth of my personality and

experience.

Thanks in advance

Sincerely

Kenneth V. Martin
