Hello OMS team, my name is Liam Engelhardt. I have been a avid customer of yours for over a year now and would love an opportunity to work for your company. I plan to bring my skills in customer service from my time working sales and customer service at best buy and my professional attitude and strong traits the United States Marine Corps has instilled in me, to your table to add something of value for my coworkers, managers, and the company as a whole. My experience in customer service comes from my high school days where I worked Sales/Customer service at the Best Buy in Mankato, Minnesota. I specialized in the sale and customer interaction of Windows based computers, Car audio equipment, and technical support with windows based computers. That job gave me a plethora of traits and skills that would be valuable to a customer service job at your business, such as customer interaction, sales interaction, and familiarization with computers, ordering parts etc etc. Out of High school I enlisted in the USMC as a Air Defense Systems Technician, where I endured 13 weeks of Basic Training in San Diego, CA. From there I went to Camp Pendleton CA to complete 5 weeks of Marine Combat Training, and then in October of 2022 went to 29 Palms CA to attend the Marine Corps Communications and Electronic Maintenance School (MCCES). I spent 8 months in 29 Palms Learning my Military Occupational Specialty of Tactical Air Operations. In June of 2023 I transferred from 29 Palms CA, to Camp Pendleton CA. Here I went to my unit, 3d Low Altitude Defense Battalion. It was here that I really got the chance to experience true leadership and comradery for the first time, working on mainly radio equipment that is used to ensure communications in the battle space are always operational, and continuing training for the possibility of combat. It was here at 3D LAAD BN that I attended a multitude of radio operator courses to obtain a second job title of 0621 Transmissions System Operator, to be fully certified to be a field radio operator for the USMC and be able to deploy into situations as a swiss army knife for 3D LAAD BN, being able to fill multiple roles in a rifle squad of marines. Around June of 2023 is also when I bought my 2017 WRX, which has been a journey which I have been very happy to share with the team at Oceanside Motorsports. Ever since the transmission stopped working things started falling apart on that car one after another, but I always knew where to take it and always felt welcomed and informed by the service advisors and automotive technicians on your team. It would be my honor to get a spot at your company and be a member of your team to pay that experience at OMS to future customers with me behind the desk this time. Thank you for your time,
Liam Engelhardt
