Dear Hiring Manager,
I am excited to apply for a remote customer service or technical support position with your company. I bring 38 years of experience as a machinist, where I honed problem-solving skills, technical expertise, and the ability to communicate complex information clearly and effectively.
A few years ago, I lost both of my legs due to medical complications. While this life-changing event has prevented me from continuing in the machine shop, it has not diminished my drive to contribute and succeed. I am fully capable of working from home and eager to apply my dedication, strong work ethic, and computer proficiency to assist customers and support your team.
My background includes decades of troubleshooting, precision work, and working with technical documentation, all of which translate well into providing excellent customer experiences. I am comfortable with computers, typing, and Microsoft Office, and I am a quick learner of new software systems.
I would welcome the opportunity to bring my skills, reliability, and determination to your organization. Thank you for considering my application—I look forward to the possibility of contributing to your team.
Sincerely,
Martin Brusnahan
