Hello,

I am writing to you to apply for the Quality Assurance opportunity with your company. I am confident that I possess the training, experience and expertise required to successfully enhance your management team. As a quality system manager and coordinator, I have over fifteen years of experience with ISO 9001 implementation and management. My broad experience and understanding of manufacturing and processing allows for a very short learning curve. This experience brings with it valuable leadership, knowledge and insight into supplier development, customer satisfaction, cost reductions, problem solving and continuous improvement opportunities, The following list represents some of my qualifications and achievements.

Twenty years experience managing QA/QC programs in steel, plastics, fabrication, assembly, CNC machining, threading, heat treat, packaging, shipping and receiving and more.

Over ten years experience managing Corrective and Preventive Action programs, Customer Satisfaction, Continuous Improvement and SPC.

ASQ Certified ISO Quality Systems Lead Auditor, with extensive experience as an ISO Internal Auditor, Vendor Auditor and served as Management Representative for certification and surveillance audits.

Extensive experience developing, coordinating and delivering training programs and presentations to small and large groups.

Over fifteen years Quality Assurance and ISO 9001 management experience, as well as hands on experience implementing lean manufacturing approaches to shop floor and assembly operations, as well as calibration control, first piece, in- process, final inspection, and process audits.

In closing, may I say that I consider this a great opportunity. I have had a great deal of success communicating and selling the company quality vision to all levels of the workforce. My hands on experience of designing, implementing and managing ISO style quality systems allows me to better understand, communicate and lead within a manufacturing environment. I have extensive experience communicating with suppliers and customers. I normally spend a good deal of time on the shop floor interacting with the staff and team members, as I like to keep up with the daily activities, and to train and encourage the team members. I look forward to hearing from you soon regarding a personal interview.

Best Regards,

Bill Zapotechne, Sr
