Dear Hiring Manager,

Please, find attached a copy of my resume for your consideration.

I have the skills, qualifications, and experience to take over the position of Project Manager.

I would like to work in your company where I could share the best practices and lessons learned that I have acquired from projects I have built, by contributing to the success in its execution in an integral manner with quality in all its stages: engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning without neglecting risk management. Please, see the abstract and third conclusion in [3].

I think I could solve problems in an organization where I can identify the best work methods to define the project scope as well as the oversight during its execution phase such as ensuring Incident Free Operations by verifying and validating compliance dealing with all requirements such as regulations, contracts, and policies.

Furthermore, I see the opportunity to learn and grow my skills so we both would benefit personally, professionally, and financially.

Right now, I am living in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia; however, I will be able to relocate to wherever the job is required as long as I am selected for the position.

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon for an interview without compromise.

Regards,

Mr. Argenis Garcia
