RE: Building Maintenance / Faculties Technician/Supervisor

I am inclosing my resume for your job opening of Maintenance which I believe I would make a good match for your opening.

Its twice as hard to attract a new customer as it is to maintain an existing one. Unfortunately, this fact is often overlooked by many businesses. Delivering high - quality, responsive service is vital in Maintenance and thats exactly what youll get when you hire me.

As my resume indicates, I have worked in the Maintenance and construction fields for more than 20 years so you will not have to go to any great expense in training me. I myself having learned how to deal with a wide variety of people from the pleasant senior citizen to the irate executive. In every case, I assess their needs and how we can address them most effectively. The vast majority of my customers have walked away content. More importantly, they have returned to do business with us again If youre looking for an experienced professional to provide superior service and promote customer satisfaction, youve found him.

As you can see by my past back ground in the construction fields and maintenance fields, I am able to do many things that are required in these fields, and by my experience I am sure I can both save you money and time, by knowing how to get parts and projects done in the most cost efficient ways, And by not having to train me in such fields. In that I can make a difference in your employment. And this is why I think I can be of service to you and your company.

I am looking forward from hearing from you; and you may reach me at (508) 395-1690 Cell or leave a message on my home phone (508) 405-0092 so that we can set up a time to meet.
Thank you for this opportunity to discuss my qualifications and your needs for this job opening.

Sincerely,


James E. Riggs
