Dear Hiring Manager:
Please accept my resume in consideration for the position of_a Mig/Tig Welder_. I am confident that my skills and experience qualify me for the position.
I have over 16 years of experience as a machinist and warehouse lead man, and all but 8 months of that time was spent with one company. My duties have included shipping and receiving, driving a forklift, and operating a press brake, shear, drill press, mig weld, band saws, and various hand tools.
I have also done landscaping and general carpentry on the side, including power washing decks and siding, replacing windows, doors, siding, decks, drywall, and installing cabinets and counter tops. I take pride in my work and will work all available overtime.
My wife’s employer has transferred us to the Tempe, Arizona area. I would appreciate an opportunity to speak with you to discuss how my strong work ethic, good communication skills, and varied experience could benefit your company. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Troy E. Jones
