Dear ,


From the first day I began managing multi-million dollar electrical projects, I have consistently realized my objective of bringing every single project in on time and on budget. However, I have never believed that meeting those criteria alone was good enough. If you agree that well-managed projects should exceed customers expectations in terms of quality and service, we should talk.


To help you learn more about my track record, I have enclosed my resume. While it illustrates my experience and training, what it cannot communicate is my dedication to my profession. My professional abilities include:


Pride in the quality of my work and the willingness to do whatever is necessary to remove project obstacles and get the job done.


Expertise in overseeing installation of any major electrical project. I can handle a project from conception through design, financial procurement and installation to commissioning.


Excellent skills in guiding, motivating, training, and mentoring members of my team.


Based on my experience and strong commitment to my profession, I know I will add significant value to your organization. I look forward to discussing my capabilities in more detail, and am available for a personal interview at your convenience. Thank you for your time and consideration.


Sincerely,

Edward E Calder
