1. To whom it may concern,
I’m thrilled to be writing to you regarding the Construction/ Installer/
Maintenance vacancy you posted recently. As a motivated and
knowledgeable individual with experience in the industry, I’d like to take
this opportunity to apply.
I would bring to your company a variety of construction site experience,
including insights of inspection codes and standards, equipment
maintenance, and OSHA construction site safety regulations. Additionally, I
have a proven track record of identifying and developing new strategies to
leverage new construction, installations and maintenance. I have
constantly exceeded all goals set for me, and am valued for my ability to
deal with intractable situations by coming up with robust solutions.
I have extensive knowledge and experience of over 20+ years in the
construction, installation and maintenance sector. I would definitely be an
attribute to your company. I believe in quality along with quantity. My
abilities include carpentry, drywall, acoustical ceilings, spackling, taping,
painting, skim coating, handyman extraordinaire, plumbing, electrical,
boilers, appliance repair, reading blueprints project budgeting, managing
client relationships, negotiating, resolving disputes, and critical thinking. I
run all day, I don’t need my hand held and I leave my cell phone in the car,
unless I’m expecting a call from my employer. I give 200 percent whether
it’s my own job or working for someone else, and because of doing the
right thing I sleep like a baby at night.
I would be grateful for the opportunity to show case my abilities further at a
personal interview. Please feel free to arrange a meeting at any time.
Sincerely,
Jay Conway
