Summary
My most recent job was as an asphalt laborer but I have had many opportunities to weld for farmers and neighbors when needed. I will graduate from school and be home by the 29th of April, Welding is the skill i am passionate about pursuing. I have enclosed copies of the certifications I received from school and hope these and my years of welding are sufficient for the position you are looking to fill. I have worked in many different fields and am comfortable with many different mediums and machines. I have always worked with a group of people and seem to do well getting along with everyone. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to work at your establishment.
