To Whom It May Concern;

 

I’m writing to express my interest in possible employment with your company. I have over seventeen years experience in the construction management industry, specializing in telecommunications (twelve years in the wireless industry and five years managing fiber optics projects).

 

As my former employers will attest I thrive under pressure and I am incredibly hard working, very organized, highly adaptable to change and extremely progress driven. I have regularly out-performed the jobs tasked to me. Working well independent of direct supervision and operate just as easily in large group situations under direct supervision. Above all, my ability to effectively communicate is the primary reason for my success. Whether speaking to a crewman having problems in the field or speaking to a crowd of 100 plus people, effectively communicate the information I am to convey will save time and effort later on down the line, ultimately resulting in savings to the bottom line.

 

I am certain I possess many of the skills that will prove to make me a valuable asset to a company such as yours. I welcome the opportunity to converse with you further to find out any additional details about the position I have applied for. If you have any questions or desire additional information, please feel free to contact me at the phone number above.

 

 

 

Sincerely,

Clarence O. Snair III
