Dear Hiring Manager: The research of who is responsible for the recruiting is very important.
Customer satisfaction and cost savings are my expertise. With 20 years in printing operations, I am very excited about the opportunity to join your team. Six years ago, I started my own printing/direct mailing business within one week after my former employer closed down. I found a location, coordinated contractors, recruited employees and purchased a broad range of equipment. I retain customers and complete projects with quick turn around. However, this successful family business is now splitting up so I am now seeking a new management opportunity!
I am an innovative problem solver when it comes to efficiency and dedicated to the continuous improvement of operations, productivity, utility and safety. I also train crews to run machines and process jobs.
I know that resumes help you sort out the probable from the possible, but they are no way to judge how we could work together. I have a problem solving and professional commitment that makes successful team player.
Call me at 215-***-**** at your convenience to discuss how I would contribute to your company. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Lonnie Percy
