Find a company with strong professional values, great team working environment and industry excellence. Be involved with energy / solar market development.
I have enclosed my resume, which highlights 33 of experience in Integration and the Electrical
Construction Industry including field, sales and management. I am providing you with this so as
to introduce you with my background in providing industry and customer solutions and my personal growth and experience. I am confident you and your organization could benefit from my vast background and experience in sales, operations and management.
Throughout my career I have successfully utilized my knowledge, talents, quest for industry education and vast experiences to establish an outstanding reputation. My background includes a strong record of customer satisfaction and project execution through solutions based thinking.
This is a great time in our business with opportunities and challenges. I know now would be a great time for us to team up and create a service based organization around your specific industry requirements and provide additional structure, increase deliverability of your product and reduce your need to develop service areas that I have expertise in.
I have a strong belief in both energy reduction and alternative energy production (Energy Reduction to Energy Production). I believe in and I am working towards the 20 / 2020 goals of the alternative energy industry and would like to have a stronger influence to create a better environment for my children. I also possess a NABCEP – COK and Sharp Solar Installer Cert.
Working together would be rewarding and profitable.
Sincerely,
Richard A. Gershman
