To whom it may concern:

After contributing to the growth of three different organizations over the past 10 years, I am seeking new challenges with a company in need of someone with exceptional planning, leadership, and management abilities.

Taking command of an operation or project, then guiding it to new performance levels, is my greatest strengths.

As evidenced in my enclosed resume my experience encompasses project management, strategic planning, resource utilization, revenue growth, and cost reduction. My ability to analyze needs and create unique solutions designed to yield a profitable protocol have proven to be one of my greatest assets.

I have been credited with significantly impacting bottom line profitability wherever I have worked. I excel at streamlining less than efficient procedures to boost productivity and sales. I have also consistently demonstrated proactive management of crucial external relationships in a key market segment.

I know that my proven leadership skills, strong commitment to high ethical and professional standards, and flexibility in devising proactive responses to changing socioeconomic conditions would allow me to make a significant contribution to your company’s needs and team.

I would welcome the chance to discuss with you in qualifications greater detail. I know that you are busy, and have many applications to review. If you wish to schedule a meeting, please let me know. In the meantime please know that I appreciate your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Lawrence E Elsensohn Jr.

Community Service

My Community Service work has never felt like Community Service, I have always believed that there are other within my community that where less fortunate, My father was always involved in everything within our small community, and I learned through watching him always volunteer his time to kids that had no one to teach them sports or even life lessons. So I made a goal that I would make sure to achieve at least some of what he began. I was a Red Cross, Volunteer for the Special Olympics Torch Run.
