Dear Hiring Manager:
With my considerable CDL driving experience, I would have a lot to offer to an upwardly mobile company environment. My safety record is excellent, and my annual evaluations were all high and consistently exceptional. I am congenial, easy to get along with, and can easily adapt to any work environment.
I am a self-starter who, with over 20 years of over-the road experience, both passenger and non-passenger, would prove a great asset for any corporation. I have surmounted such challenges as assisting management and dispatch of drivers and management of a phone room staff of up to 40 people. I am known for creative motivation and unflagging enthusiasm. Moreover, I am proficient in Word, Excel, and other related programs.
Based on a record of safe and proficient work and a knack for hiring smart and training thoroughly, I have usually been tracked to management. Yet, I am notoriously willing to pitch in to meet whatever challenge presents itself. Sincerely attuned to the drives of both customers and staff, I am flexible with regard to any issue or circumstance. A company investing in both its customers and its workers will reap great dividends from my time and talent. Believing that the position mentioned in your notice is a perfect match for my skills, I look forward to the opportunity of scheduling an interview. Sincerely,
Lawrence Jahn
