I would like to be considered for your position of Materials Manager - Manufacturing. I am confident with my experience, I have a lot to offer based on many years with a national manufacturer of store fixtures, (2) years with a metal fabricator and (8) years in the food processing industry. This diverse background has helped me to develop strong operations and organizational skills. I believe I can transcend and assist any production team in any industry. As a person who enjoys a challenge, I can quickly learn new responsibilities and proceed to make an operation more efficient, leaner and profitable.
The opportunity to meet with you to discuss your company’s personnel needs would be appreciated. Please contact me for an interview at the number listed above.
