Profile

To Whom It May Concern,

I am interested in working for your organization. I am qualified with over 27 years of experience in welding and fabrication to offer you. I enclose my resume as a first step in exploring the possibilities of employment with your company. My most recent experience for over the past 2 years is with OnCall Tree Service, as well as general contracting. It has been a refreshing challenge in building my abilities to learn other areas of construction and contracting. I was still doing small welding jobs on the side from time to time, but primarily, I performed duties as needed for OnCall Tree Service providing services for tree and stump removal, including emergency services often needed during storm coverage. Also I would work on both operating and repairing equipment at times as indicated.

As an employee with your organization, I would bring focus to quality, as well as, be able to meet and maintain urgent deadlines. Furthermore I work well others, and with 27 years of experience, it has allowed me to work in many facets of the industry, including being able to travel to multiple areas and job sites, while welding with many different kinds of metals, such as carbon, stainless, inconel, even chromium. Also, I have fabricated and welded from 10ga. sheet metal to 8 in. plate, and from 1 in. tubing to 10 in. pipe. Thank you for your time and careful consideration, I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely,

Andrew B. Reid
