Human Resources Department
Dear Sir or Maam,
In the interest of establishing employment with your organization, I have enclosed my resume for your review and consideration.
As you can see from the attached resume, I have a solid background in the construction industry. I am not satisfied with mediocrity, I am always striving for excellence; I also have an ability to see and understand the details of a situation or project without losing sight of the big picture. My experience has led me to understand that these traits are difficult to find, yet extremely valuable to any organization.
While I currently reside in Las Vegas, Nevada, I am interested in relocating. My wife and I desire a different community in which to raise our children. I understand that this often leads to difficulties in meeting with potential employers and can often be seen as an inconvenient for the interviewer. I am willing and able to travel on short notice for an interview and to pay for all associated costs.
If a position requiring a professional with my qualifications is currently available, or is anticipated in the near future, I would appreciate your review of my resume and an opportunity to meet with you for an interview to discuss the rest of my work experience. Please feel free to call me, I am available at your convenience.
Thank you for your time, consideration and forthcoming response.
Sincerely,
Justin McEwen
