Dear Mr. Fredrick,

I found your request for a Specialist Level III Cabling Site Manager listed on the inter-office board. I currently work for Frank Goddin in the Structural Planning Division, and, as he will be retiring this fall. I have been looking for a position in Site Management to apply my skills and 19 years of construction engineering and management experience.

I'm very organized, I'm a self-motivated worker, but I enjoy working as a team player. My belief is that we spend a good portion of our lives in the workplace, it should be a pleasant experience. As a manager, I try to make the job one that employees enjoy going to everyday. Not only has this kept those under my supervision satisfied, it has enabled me to run the most efficient work groups at TCW Communication. I would like to continue my success under your direction in Site Management.

If my experience and management philosophy are attractive to you, please feel free to contact me at the Structural Planning office or cell# 555-1212. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
