Hiring Manager:
I am a 33 year career manager, having dedicated most in the modular homes and manufactured buildings field. Until recently I was employed at a custom modular manufacturer as their Assistant Production Manager in Pembroke, NH. It was this employer’s intent to increase output, but the sagging economy has prohibited this and has conversely caused recent company downsizing. Certainly, my diverse experience, as well as my people management skills, makes me an ideal fit for very many positions in just as many fields while utilizing my extremely strong operations background.
Please consider discussing the possibility of any current or upcoming opportunities you may have. I am optimistic that in spite of the current economy there certainly will be a company who may be willing to invest in the value and experience I could bring to their business. I am certainly prepared to start at a lower level, as I am quite confident that I will immediately demonstrate my ability to make my employer better.
Thank you very much,
Dan
