Dear Human Resources Manager,

If your organization is seeking a skilled and experienced Project/Design Engineer and Sales Engineer who has a passion for work and problem solving, I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss your needs and objectives with you. The accomplishments noted within the accompanying resume will illustrate the value and vision that I can bring to your company and team.

For the last 35 years, I have led teams in the design of custom machinery for the carpet industry, non-woven industry, balloon-manufacturing industry, mining industry, as well as other industries on an as needed basis. I have also designed and sold mechanical conveyor systems and material handling equipment for various clients. I have designed machinery, which has been installed in Home Depot stores across the country, as well as custom industrial machinery that have been installed in manufacturing facilities in the USA and nineteen foreign countries. I have been manager of projects from hundreds of dollars to multiple millions of dollars. All jobs, regardless of value, have been treated with equal importance.

The majority of the design work I have done for the last fifteen years has been in 3D, and I am very comfortable working with the simplest to the most complex modeling needs.

Over the years, I have become more involved with sales. I would meet with potential customers to determine their problems or needs. I would then create a conceptual design, quote the job, and then follow the project through manufacturing to installation at the customer’s site. I also took over the purchasing obligations for the company I previously worked for. I was given complete control in the purchasing position as the company knew I was a honest employee and look out for the company’s best interest.

I am very involved with my church, as well as men's ministries through my church and Christian Business Men's Committee. Christian beliefs and morals help to guide me in making the correct business decisions.

If your firm is looking for a dependable, goal minded professional with a solid performance track, I would be interested in speaking with you to discuss the value that my strengths and experience can bring to your search. I can be reached in confidence at the above telephone number and look forward to hearing from you.

I request that you not contact my current employer at this time due to still being employed by this company. Arrangements can be made at a later date if required. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Sincerely yours,

Robert Cox
