Dear:
In response to your ad, I am submitting my resume for your consideration.
With more than 25 years of experience in project management from inception to completion,
feasibility studies, budget forecasting and oversight, personnel management and more for well established companies as well as startup enterprises, I offer a full range of knowledge and skills
that ideally suit me for this position.
Among my greatest past accomplishments has been the complete buildup of companies, from
local concerns to multi-million dollar national operations. I have also been instrumental in diversifying and broadening companies’ range of services, greatly increasing revenues and profitability. Through my career, I have directed projects now totaling in excess of $400 million, with as much as a 25% profit margin, and I have taken companies near bankruptcy to full profitability. In all of my work, I have built teams from a mere handful of employees to over 400. In great part, I attribute my accomplishments to my ability to build relationships with external prospects/clients, civic and governmental officials, vendors and internal staff and work crews.
While the attached resume provides a summary of my qualifications and related employment history,
I also want to communicate to you my integrity and my passion for work. I am well regarded among
all past colleagues, staff and clients for my honesty, commitment and thoroughness in assuring that projects are well planned, profitable and completed on time. Additionally, I want to express my willingness to relocate, whether temporary or permanent, in order to meet the demands of this position.
I look forward to hearing from you as well as the opportunity to meet and discuss how my abilities can best meet your needs.
Sincerely,
Gary D. Hooper
