Dear Mike Bruno
I’m writing to inquire about a position as an installer of your products. I am very
interested in this opportunity with The Everlast Group and believe that my qualifications,
education and professional experience would make me a strong candidate for the position.
I am an educated and skilled worker who has all the right tools to make an instant impact
and be a future leader in the company. I have gained a lot of experience and work ethics by being
a manager at McDonalds. I was tasked with many challenges of leading young teenagers to
complete a daily goal. This experience has given me all the tools to be a hard responsible worker.
I am also educated in the construction industry and I can bring a fresh young and determined
attitude to the table.
Enclosed is my resume that more fully details my background and work experience, and
how they relate to the position I am inquiring about. As you can see, being a manager at
McDonalds and being educated in the field of construction have given me what I need to be
successful with your company. I firmly believe that I can be a valuable asset to your team. I
welcome the opportunity to speak with you about this position and how my experience could
help The Everlast Group achieve its goals.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Kind regards,
Eric Porcelli
