cover Opportunity within your organization
To whom it may concern:
I am very interested to discuss possible opportunities within your organization. Both my background and experience enable me to quickly adapt and help any corporation. My resume is enclosed for your review. Of particular note for you and the members of your team as you consider my skills are my strong accomplishments in combining business acumen with technical savvy to achieve improved operating efficiency internally. Additionally, my accomplishments have been achieved by cooperation between management and staff. After twenty five years, I acquired a thorough understanding of every aspect of modern businesses. My current partner is very happy with my performance, but I view myself as somewhat of a troubleshooter, and most of the reorganizations initiated here have already come to fruition, so I am eager to consider new challenges. If you are seeking a talented individual who stays abreast of his field, who understands technology, who earns 100% staff support, and who is as career committed as it takes to achieve total success, then please consider what I have to offer. I would be happy to have a preliminary discussion with you or members of your team to see if we can estab- lish a mutual interest.
Thank you for your attention to these materials. I certainly look forward to exploring this further. Truly yours,
Charles Mouannes
