Dear Hiring Manager,

 

As a graduate from Utah Valley University (UVU) in the field of Business Administration and with my diverse work history, I believe you will find me well qualified to become a valuable member of your team.  At UVU I have taken several management, accounting, and communication courses and have been able to apply what I have learned in many of the positions I have held.  I have had ample management experience in the positions I have held at C.H. Robinson, Sports Village, and Utah Valley University.  Also with my position at C.H. Robinson, I developed strong negotiation skills which will apply to this position.  I was able to learn how to read and interpret maps through my experience as a Wild Land Firefigther. Throughout my college career I have been able to gain advanced skills in all Microsoft office programs and have applied this knowledge in the real world with the positions I have held.

 

I have a basic knowledge of the gas and oil industry after shadowing a Project Coordinator and Land Agent with Universal Field Services.  I was able to experience the process required during land acquisition and contract negotiations and am confident that I would make an excellent addition to your team.

 

Thank you for taking the time to review my resume.  I can be reached anytime by the above phone number for any further questioning.  I hope to hear from you soon.

 

Sincerely,

 

Tyson D. Forbes
