I am submitting my resume to your organization for consideration when filling the position of Project Manager.
In my 25 years in the industry, I have managed projects from a few thousand dollars to millions of dollars. I have performed these tasks in multiple disciplines and from multiple prospectives. I have worked directly for the owner and I have worked for companies such as yours as a construction manager. I have also managed facilities and directed both new construction and preventative maintenance programs to insure the stability of the infrastructure of mission critical sites.
I am certified by CSI as a Construction Documents Technologist and was formally certified as a Construction Contract Administrator. I have passed the State of Ohio test for a Class III building inspector.
I am seeking a position that will allow me to use this past experience to provide valuable services to customers and assist my employer in maintaining a profitable service oriented organization.
I look forward to the opportunity to discus my diverse background and how in these difficult financial times be profitable to my employer.
Yours truly,
Karen D. Blair, CDT
