Dear Human Resources Manager:
I am enclosing my Resume with this cover letter. I have always been very detaile
d when it comes to paperwork. As the Resume shows, the majority of my career has
been operations based. For the most part, this is maintaining and adjusting fil
es.
At Builder's Square, I was known as "the Iron Man" because, over the course of m
y 15 year career, I only missed 5 days of work! The same record has been true ev
erywhere I have worked. At Nusbaum Custom Carpentry, I only missed 3 days in a l
ittle over 6 years.
Because of current economic conditions, Nusbaum Custom Carpentry chose to cut my
position and I am providing a copy of their letter of recommendation. The manag
er informed me that this had nothing to do with my work, but was strictly a matt
er of dollars and sense.
Please let me know if there is anything else I need to provide in order to be co
nsidered for the position. I am ready to begin work immediately!
Sincerely,
STEPHEN W. DUPRIEST
