Hiring Manager, January **, ****

I’m applying for the position of Technical Writer.

I’m the perfect candidate for this job!

I have extensive experience over a wide range of products from small machines, robotic equipment, on up to large assembly lines, in Fortune 500 companies such as 3M, General Mills, Honeywell, Graco and others. My resume will demonstrate my varied background in electrical/mechanical equipment including robotic equipment.

I live in Ruskin, Florida a short distance from Tampa. I'm looking for remote or on-site/off-site mix projects. I'm experienced in working remotely with great success. I have produced many complicated assembly line manuals for General Mills and other companies without ever seeing the actual machine or assembly line, totally working off drawings, schematics, and conversations with SME's. My portfolio and experience run deep. I have many PDF examples I could send you. My Dale Carnegie Public Speaking Course background has taught me how to work with people at all levels. I’m extremely organized. And above all, I understand the meaning of a deadline date. I have strong skills with Adobe Products including InDesign, FrameMaker, Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat.

I have strong skills in Microsoft Office products, including, Word, Power Point and Excel. I also have SolidWorks viewer. Which allows me to create individual drawings for manuals. You can count on me to complete projects with little supervision. But, at the same time, I understand the importance of frequently reviewing work with the SME’s to double check manual accuracy. If needed, I’m comfortable working on numerous projects at the same time. I'm confident, hardworking and have a strong work ethic. My deep and varied experiences will allow me to hit the ground running on day one of a project! Please contact me, so we can talk more about your project. I am available for immediate work. Thank You,

Dave Hamre
