Summary
Hello!
I hope this finds you having a wonderful day. I wanted to submit this resume for your records, or to just keep on file. I made a career change about three years ago, and It hasn't really turned out as expected.
I am just exploring potential opinions and maybe something completely different. As you will see I do have management experience and previously operated multiple types of heavy equipment as well. I condensed it as much as possible, so it did not take up your time. If my skill set matches any opportunities in the future please feel free to contact me at anytime. I appreciate your time and any consideration for future opportunities.
Thank You!
