In the late fall of 2018, a short-term training position became opened at Burridge Campus to facilitate the training of a 2nd and 3rd level electrical apprenticeship blocks. Using the NSAA curriculum, I delivered a nine-week program for the 2nd year group and a seven-week program for the 3rd level group. Mainly theory was delivered in these two courses, however, even with limited facilities, I was able to mix in some lab sessions in order to enhance the training environment. Comprehensive testing was carried out to ensure that all candidates met the outcomes of the short programs and the 2nd level group was prepared for a NSAA block exam at the end of their program.

Attention: To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is to introduce myself and express my interest for the position of Building Operator, SAERC.
As you can see from my personal resume, I hold several qualifications in the Electrical trade, these include an Electrical Construction Red Seal, an Electrical Mechanic Certification, a Communications Cabling Specialist and a Federal Government Marine Electrical Certification. Complimenting these certificates is the years of experience and the wealth of knowledge that I have gained in the various positions that I have held.
For numerous years, in various capacities, I have been involved in building maintenance, albeit, mainly concentrating on the electrical end of the maintenance programs. With my time in the electrical trade I have had to become familiar with other systems, mainly due to the tie in with electrical systems. Heating, plumbing, Air conditioning, water treatment systems, fire alarm, communication systems are just a few of the systems that I have had direct contact with while working on building maintenance or installation.
I am very comfortable working on computer systems and have worked with numerous Microsoft programs. Over the years, whether it be in the field, office or classroom, I have become very adept at scheduling activities for successful and timely completion of various tasks.
Thank you for taking your time to read my resume.
Sincerely,
Tony D. Sampson
