Personnel Department

I am submitting my resume for employment consideration within your company. As you review my resume you will see that I have a wide array of knowledge and skills amassed from my thirty plus years in the construction industry, with the last six years as a Project Manager. I have the ability to adapt to any position given within a company and strive to be the best at that position.

Utilizing exceptional skills, I implemented processes in a company that lacked order and leadership. I created and enforced a scheduling system, which resulted in a dramatic increase in production. I used material projections and estimations which helped decrease the excess amounts of materials sent out by suppliers; resulting in thousands of dollars of savings per individual project.

When issues would arise, my immediate reaction was to analyze the situation, and initiate a resolution. After taking immediate action on the more time sensitive matters, I would review the situation and identify what measures could be taken to avert problems from reoccurring.

In regards to customer relations, I continually strive to go above and beyond to satisfy the needs of both my internal and external customers. I thrive in this capacity, and enjoy helping to resolve any issues that may arise. I have a unique ability to not only look at things from my own point of view, but to look at things from the customer’s point of view as well. Never losing sight of processes in place, and adhering to all existing standards set forth by my employer. My ability to empathize with people has also aided me in performing in my supervisory role when dealing with employees and subcontractors as well.

In closing, I would just like to say that you will not find a harder working employee that strives to be the best at any position. I look forward to answering any and all questions you may have.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Bruce Steven Graden
