Hello,

To whom it may concern.

I commenced my career in the Canadian Armed Forces, first in the armoured core and later in the dental core, with a total of seven years of service to our country. This wealth of experience gave me strong ethics and including discipline, time management, teamwork, perseverance and leadership.

Completing my military career I got an opportunity to be employed in the automotive industry as an inspector and later as a quality group leader. As a Quality Lead, I had the privilege to assist in two plant start-ups which I managed to complete the tasks on time and without any major issues.

My next career move was as a quality manager for a manufacturing plant. During this tenure I successfully managed to implement multiple certification programs including ISO 9001:2008 and CSA Z299.4-85. Further I lead the ISO recertification program continuously for number of years.

Currently I’m working in the automotive industry as a Quality Engineer. I consider this role is rewarding and quite fulfilling.

I’m acknowledged as a problem solver and trusted resource with a talent for effective and efficient quality management that supports short and long-term business goals.

I strongly believe my strengths and skills makes me a perfect fit for this position. I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you and further discuss how my experience and background can be of potential value to your organization. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours truly,

Lars Budczinski
