To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to introduce myself and to express my interest in employment with your organization. I have been involved in the many aspects of construction in both residential and commercial applications. As you will note from my resume attached; I offer you the qualifications I believe you will admire in a team player that will assist in your organization’s future successes. As my resume illustrates, I possess the record of accomplishment, technical knowledge, and expertise too effectively:
• apply my 30+ years of experience in construction from the planning stages until the ultimate accomplishment of customer satisfaction.
• apply my experience in managing teams and maintaining working relationships with my co- workers, professional consultants, government agencies, and the clients by establishing a positive rapport and maintaining an open line of communication, which is key to any project.
• apply my knowledge of city, state, and federal policies that apply the understanding of the functions of construction to any project I lead.
• apply my expertise to evaluating, researching and implementing appropriate strategies based on the needs of the team and the organization; and
• to provide strong analytical, time management, and organizational skills, with the ability to multi- task to get the job done right.
My career history has allowed me to apply the best of what defines an effective leader by gaining respect of all that I work with. As a result, I have an unusual talent for turning challenges into solutions, even in the most rigid/controversial environment with my ability to problem solve, and identify problems, which enable me to formulate solutions.

Beyond the Resume
Why I Build:
“Every project is unique, and I
enjoy overcoming the challenges.”
Construction Has Taught Me:
“That if you think you can do it,
you can. A positive attitude can
accomplish things you wouldn’t
believe.”
My Most Challenging
Moment in Construction:
“I was brought in on a
Standard Pacific job that had
been shut down for eight months
and red tagged due to being
under engineered. I was able to
bring the job up to standard
and complete within 12 months
of being assigned. The job
consisted of an underground
parking with a four-story multi-
family wood structure.”
