Resume:

To Whom It May Concern:

I am requesting a position as a customer service agent – ORD

I have been an EMS Chief with the Dixmoor FD and a firefighter/paramedic with the Palos Fire Protection District. I have field experience in both medical and trauma events. All these fulfil the requirement of being a people person, a good PR person for this position with Alaska Airlines

In addition, I have been an American Heart Association instructor in the disciplines of BLS, ACLS and

PALS for several years. I have recently retired from Advocate Christ Medical Center as their training center coordinator. I enjoyed my work there but I would like to also use my experiences actively in a different environment.

I am confident that I have the knowledge and skills necessary to successfully work as a team member in the position being offered as a customer service agent.

Thank you for considering me for the position.

Yours truly,

Gerard E. Brown, M.Ed., NREMT-paramedic
