Cover Letter
Dear Hiring Manager, I am an experienced Warehouse Supervisor seeking an opportunity at your company. I have a strong track record and am looking forward to bringing my skills and abilities to the team. In addition to my years of experience, I have strong interpersonal and communication skills that allow me to adapt to any group or situation. Abilities in loading and unloading, staff management and forklift have also helped me to build relationships and achieve results. On my enclosed resume you can see that there is a gap in my work history due to company layoffs at my previous employer, where I was a skilled Warehouse Supervisor. While this period was unplanned and unexpected, I put the time to good use and am ready to get back to the workforce. Documentation and references from my former employers will show the depth of my dedication, reliability and abilities and show that I am an excellent fit for this position. I've attached my resume with additional details of my work experience and qualifications. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Joseph Edwards
