To “Hiring Manager”:

 

 

I am looking to find employment in the Tulsa area that will allow me to limit the amount of travel that my current job requires. My present assignment is near completion and my employer can only offer positions that would require me to live away from home. I also realize that the salaries associated in my line of work would not be as high as living away from home. My preference is to live and work in the Tulsa area despite the likelihood of lower wages.

 

My background is in management support services including project planning and scheduling, budgeting, earned value analysis, cost control and cost engineering. My work history has been in the fields of the oil and gas industry, power plant construction (nuclear and fossil), environmental clean-up, petrochemical plant operations, refinery plant maintenance, design engineering and plant turnarounds.

 

Being a diplomatic team player along with oral and written communication skills has enabled me to work amicably with clients, all levels of management and site personnel. My work history has offered invaluable exposure to working in a home office and field environments. My experience has also enabled me to meet the requirements of a highly structured work situation as well as the flexibility to be successful in unstructured, dynamic working conditions. Meeting deadlines under stringent time constraints has never been a problem and periodic travel is not an issue. My work ethics are unquestionable and my business products are of the utmost professional quality.

 

Confidence in my abilities, accompanied with work practices that demand an extremely high degree of detail and a meticulous organizational aptitude, would facilitate execution of all responsibilities in a timely fashion, contribute to the success of any work environment and effectively meet every challenge.

 

Sincerely,
 

James E. Bradford
