To whom it may concern

Learning about the Customer Engineer position at Volt Delta has given me a great degree of enthusiasm to be a part of your dynamic team and secure a challenging full-time, permanent position.

I wish to leverage my broad set of skills and knowledge in IT management, system analysis and design, testing, computer training, project/program management, strategic planning, customer relations, business administration, applications and program management, technical support, and operations management. I consistently demonstrate keen expertise in providing technical support and developing new processes through ongoing maintenance, defect resolution, and enhancement solutions. Furthermore, I do extremely well in the creation and implementation of unique strategies to optimize operational efficiency while significantly reducing cost. My qualifications include successful completion of simultaneous, large-scale projects within budget and time constraints. Likewise, I am known for having the remarkable ability to lead, train, and coordinate with technical teams to provide innovative business solutions.

Taking initiative has always been my academic and career focus. I certainly understand responsibility, hold on intense work ethic, and strive to do my best in any situation. Struggling with the global economic downturn, I have accepted various positions to maintain employment. However, I have always preferred and sought permanent positions that would allow me to grow with the company for I am in pursuit of, not just a job, but a career that would provide me the backbone of experiences and learning, which would serve as a fuel of my entire professional life.

With my rich mix of skills and experience, I am certain that any company that would employ my services would gain a loyal, competent employee demonstrating key assets that would offer positive impact and valuable contributions to the organization.

Please contact me to schedule a telephone or personal interview to discuss how I could meet your current and future needs. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Kind regards,

Daniel Rudolf Bodenstein
