- To Whom It May Concern:
- I am seeking a position with an organization that is committed to the safety and health of its employees and wishes to conduct business in an environmentally prudent manner. My experience and skill sets will assist this organization in reaching the goal of being known for this commitment. And to highlight my knowledge.
- My background as a journeyman welder has provided me with an exceptional understanding of the craft trade mentality and perception towards safety and health programs, and how effective safety and health programs impact morale, production and company loyalty. My experience as a safety technician and the education I have received from the many OSHA Institute classes taken provided me with the necessary skills to audit safety compliance and safety programs and to develop and implement programs to improve safety and health in your company. I have been a supervisor where I am in charge of quality and inventory control.
- As a quality and inventory control lead person, I direct the component of the business operations that ensures an appropriate amount of supply without an excess. I also collect data which allows me to track various aspects of inventory, rate of returns, rate of purchase, and rates of accuracy in order to maintain and improve quality control. This data is used to calculate products, parts, orders, to ensure that the proper amount of inventory is distributed at the right time. I am also responsible for responding to sales and inquiry, filing, managing employees, and providing creative solution to discrepancies.
- I am excited to have the opportunity to meet with you to discuss this opportunity for my career development and to explain how my skills and education will help make your company a leader.
- Sincerely
