Dear Sir or Madam:
Enclosed, please find a brief resume outlining my extensive commercial construction management background.
As you will see from my accomplishments, my career covers a broad range of commercial/ industrial construction and highlights my strong technical skills, management abilities, and industry knowledge. My achievements are a direct result of a strong work ethic, ability to solve problems effectively, and effective communication abilities. Through each of my positions, I have mastered the skills that will allow me to quickly become a contributing member of your construction operation. I have worked with many estimating and purchase order programs for drywall and general contracting along with developing my own excel estimating spreadsheet. I look forward to an opportunity to meet with you to discuss how my skills and experience can be of mutual benefit. I am available for immediate employment and can meet with you at your earliest convenience.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Keith E. Miller
