To Whom It May Concern:
Please accept my attached resume as application for consideration of employment with your firm. As you can see I have 20+ years experience in the construction business with the last 15 years in the project management arena. I believe my multiple skillsets along with my 24 years of rebar detailing and estimating and 15 years as a self perform concrete project manager for a general contractor and general contracting, can be a major asset to your company.
I would like the opportunity to meet with you and explore the possibilities of joining your team. I will provide a project list and a reference list upon request.
Reasons for gaps in employment.
I left Leopardo Construction to marry my high school sweetheart in Arizona.
I left Concord Companies because we weren’t a good fit for each other.
I was laid off from LGE Design Build because of the economy and a drastic slow down in business.
I am presently studying for my Masters Degree.
Thank you for your time and considerations.
