1. Mr. David Smith

Dear David,
I am writing to you as it has come to my attention that you are searching for a VP
Operations. I sent my resume to BOG but it seems that they have passed on me due to
my movement over the past 7 years. While they are entirely correct that I have moved a
around a bit since spending 21 years at Precision Speed Manufacturing there are
reasons for the movement and the major reason is that I have been sought after for my
ability to bring about positive cultural change and have a track record for delivering
positive results quickly and growing a profitable business.
Let me be clear that I am looking for my next opportunity to be my last employ which is
why I will be selective. I can say, without hesitation, my dismissal by BOG will eliminate
your most qualified candidate as I bring unique intangibles that have been enhanced by
my moving around. I have taken away many best practices and have broadened and
strengthened my business acumen by experiencing the many diversified business
processes and companies.
I am from the area and have been in aerospace manufacturing operations for over 20
years; I know the expectations, your products and your customers intimately and have a
proven ability to provide positive bottom line results year on year.
I am a decisive decision maker and I am able to conceptualize the vision and have an
intensity of purpose with the drive to accomplish the mission. I have a work style that
rallies others around common objectives and I create an environment of accountability. I
am a great communicator and have the confidence and presence to lead people
whether they are a direct report or a peer. I act consistently with a core set of values
and have a reputation for honesty, integrity and an overall sense of unity. I know the
pains of a manufacturer and understand how to marry the people and the processes.
I am a proven leader and I am looking for the opportunity to once again be in operations
where I can help lead and develop a company towards profitable growth. This is where I
get my most personal satisfaction.
I have attached my resume and the VP Operations profile for your review and
consideration. I can also supply an impressive list of references upon your request.
I sincerely wish you the best in your search and if you desire to further pursue a
conversation I would welcome the opportunity.
Best regards,
Paul Murphy
