Hiring Manager
Atlanta GA
Dear Hiring Manager,
As a licensed General Contractor with over 28 years experience managing restoration and remodeling projects, I have earned a reputation for leading forecasting, budgeting, estimating and bidding negotiations to deliver profitable results for my company. Recently, I have been involved in using my construction knowledge to assist homeowners suffering catastrophic losses due to hurricanes and other disasters in the southeastern United States. My confidential resume is enclosed for your consideration and review.
My strong construction background coupled with my experience negotiating with Federal, State, and local agencies gives me a very well-rounded perspective on the unique needs of restoration and disaster recovery project management. Having witnessed first hand the impact of flood and hurricane damage to homeowners, I fully appreciate the critical need to bring closure and restore people to their homes and daily activities with minimal disruption.
Some of my significant contributions include:
• Building my construction business from ground zero to over $2M in annual revenue.
• Inspecting and processing an average of over 100 disaster recovery claims a month.
• N.F.L.P. Flood & Earthquake certification in addition to full FEMA certification.
I am confident that my background and experience will bring tremendous value to your organization. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you and discuss my qualifications in greater detail. Please contact me at your earliest convenience to schedule a personal interview.
Sincerely,
Johnny L. Hall
