Dear Sir:
Please review my resume at your convenience. As you will see, I have many years of operating machines and driving experience. I hold a Class A CDL license with air brake and tank endorsements. I am an 8 year decorated veteran of the military, earning numerous medals and performance awards. I am also a Persian Gulf vet from the 1991 campagin. From my time in the military, I learned unmatched work ethics. I have supervisory/foreman experience of over 35 men and have an established record as an excellent leader. I started out as a laborer and worked my way up over the years. I am not afraid to get out of the machine and jump in the ditch to help out, as I remember where I came from. I look forward to setting up an interview in the near future.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Joseph Petti

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS
I was a key player in three major projects of varying types. First, I was on a team of SeaBees in Naples, Italy who cleared land and setup sites for foundations where new barracks were being built.
Secondly, I was employed with a company that had a major role in clearing land and grading out a huge area (hundreds of acres) to prepare for additions to the Woodbury Commons Mall in Central Valley, NY. Lastly, I worked in almost every crew of the Millennium Pipeline job throughout the southern tier of NY. I operated many different machines on a daily basis to get the 30 inch natural gas main line in the ground, covered up and ready to be used. I also drove the “Foam Truck,†a ten wheeler straight truck that carried chemicals to spray foam ditch pillows for the pipe to lay on, and ditch breakers to keep natural underground water from moving the pipe once it was covered up.
During the Persian Gulf war in 1991, I was a hydraulics/pneumatics mechanic on aircraft based on the USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) aircraft carrier. I was responsible for the maintenance, repair, inspection, overhaul and readiness of the aircraft’s hydraulic systems in a stressfull environment where flight operations were being conducted 24 hours a day while the bombing was going on. My role was to make sure my squadron's aircraft were ready to take off from the flight deck within 5 minutes of being called upon. I was responsible for all the flight controls on the plane, the landing gear, tires, arresting hook and any and every hydraulic and pneumatic component on that plane for safe flight operation. At the time, I worked from 18 yrs of age until 21 yrs old on a 36 million dollar aircraft with the pilots and crew members lives in my hands. It was a position that taught me alot about paying attention to detail, working as a team, getting the job done by-the-book and taking pride in knowing that every pilot that ever flew in an aircraft that I was in charge of came back safely. I also learned unmatched work ethics.
