To whom it may concern,
Your newly created position would suit a driven professional like me who is able to operate in a fast paced environment.
With a background spanning 34 years in establishing or adjusting work procedures to meet production schedules, I feel more than able to make a real success of your vacant position. My career to date has given me a solid understanding of how to implement effective staffing plans, drive continuous improvements and take any actions necessary to get day-to-day factory problems and conflicts resolved.
At the moment I am unemployed but have worked in a role similar to the one you are advertising. My primary duties were to come up with and recommend changes in shop floor production methods, equipment and procedures in my assigned areas of responsibility. Through my work I have acquired knowledge in how to do all of the following key duties that your role requires of a candidate:
• Control production processes and employees on their respective shifts.
• Complete assigned tasks in a safe manner and in a constant state of alertness.
• Quickly change manufacturing priorities to meet changing demands.
On a personal level I can be relied upon to attend work on a regular and predictable basis. I must also mention that I am very good at maintaining a positive attitude when under pressure and able to motivate people at the same time.
Yours sincerely,
