To whom it may concern,

I would like to express my interest in working for your company in the area of welding, fabricating, installation and construction. I’ve been in the industry for 15+ years, and feel that my expertise would be well suited to benefit your business. My strengths are decision-making, collaboration, motivation, innovation, as well as focused attention and high accuracy.

I’m new to the Madison area, and arrived here in order to help out family after a time of great personal loss. I came from Vermont where I learned to weld and gain experience in automotive welding, steel erection, and government rated welding of power conversion equipment. In my previous role, I worked for Dynapower Company; I was skilled and hardworking as a welder, but due to the ongoing pandemic the company was forced to downsize, and lost my job due to layoffs. While this period was unplanned and unexpected, I put time to good use and am ready to reenter the workforce.

I am thrilled to apply my talents to your company. Please contact me at your earliest convenience to further discuss how my work history and personality fit the welder/fabricator role. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Jason Wade
