Greetings, I am Miguel Contreras.

I am writing in regards to the position you have available, poor customer, service representative as a first generation graduate with honors and a member of PHI THETA KAPPA, And associates degree i am highly motivated, and a well trained professional in Technical arts of Welding Technology. I have18+ years of welding and fabrication manufacturing in structural and pipe welding at 6G and vertical and horizontal certifications training, and sales experience. Among other great attributes. such as human relations, training, and relationship building.

In my 18 years of my career I have trained pipefitters to become welders, held classes for entry level trainees wanting to become certified, conducted training on a individual basis and small groups. Created inventory sales, guidelines and oversaw small quotes for special projects .I would bring many great amenities with me to ensure success and integrity as well as many other traits. My innovated mindset Is continuously seeking new knowledge and growth. While being a bit of a perfectionist, I understanding time management and creative planning are a critical, and a essential part of a leaders fundamentals rapped with problem solving and motivational skills.

As I am very familiar with OSHA safety regulations and PPE standard. I have a niche for customer satisfaction and always trying to find a way to make things faster better, while continuing to stay proficient and be safe.

I also possess skills such as great communication skills. I am Bilingual, friendly and feel that the satisfaction of a customer is determined by the success of one’s ability to ensure such level of comfort which will implement trust and professionalism in not only our product but our staff .Such a skill is also needed when understanding what is required for your clients under specifications and Code restrictions. Since safety is very important, I feel that customer confidentiality is key enable to reinsure them that this is the place for them. Good policy is expected everywhere, but it starts with you. Basic Microsoft computer functions, PowerPoint, word documents, etc. emails are also just a part of a growing team.

So what better way to introduce the success of your team then to hire one of your own. Someone eager willing and well spoken enthusiastic and a great sense of humor. If our educators can build Dreams and give opportunity’s, so can we. let’s make everyday count.

Sincerely:

Miguel Contreras
