Dear Sir or Madam,
Enclosed you will find my personal resume, please consider me seriously for the project manager/superintendent position.
It is true that I have been self employed my entire career, however I am
no longer interested in pursuing a business in that realm.
My preference is to utilize my talents and experience working for the industry as an employee.
Being self employed has afforded me the opportunity to gain experience in dealing with clients, employees, subcontractors, counties, engineers, architects
and the ability to confront without being confrontational.
I am not averse to travel or long hours. I am single and my children are grown and in college, so my family will not be affected.
As you will see I have the ability to read and discern blueprints and engineers drawings, design office space, restaurants, custom homes, renovation jobs, from the ground up.
My career has included many years of hands on experience and I am not averse to jumping in the “trenches†to assist or inspect.
My strengths include, but are not limited to negotiating and writing contracts with suppliers, subs and vendors. Verification that the work is being performed to specs and to our satisfaction. Ascertaining that we maintain costs within budget,
and that subcontractors and employees are keeping the site clean and safe.
Thank you for your time to review this letter and my resume. All that I ask is that you give me serious consideration for your position.
Sincerely,
Richard j. Valente
