Hello,
My name is Tanner Nilsson and I have just completed my diploma of building and construction at
RMIT University in the city and I am looking for a full time job in the building industry to start as
soon as possible. I am ready to get into the workforce and turn my 15 years of schooling into a
career. I am eager to start work and very excited at this opportunity. I am a very hard worker and
an incredibly fast learner, I pick up on things quickly and have very good problem solving skills. I
work well in groups and get along with people very easily. I have worked on commercial and
domestic sites; I believe this to be a major advantage coming fresh out of university not many
people have worked on a building site. So far in my studies I have received eleven credited
distinctions and 3 high distinctions. I am ready to get into the workforce and help your company
and myself grow. I am looking forward to hearing back from you I hope we can work together in
the future.
Please do not hesitate to call or email me if you have any other enquiries or questions.
Yours sincerely, Tanner Nilsson
