rgarrett@pldi.net Monday, July 30, 2007 Dear HR Director, With the enclosed resume, I would like to acquaint you with my skills as an experienced commercial and industrial mechanic and electrician with a solid background in preventive maintenance, troubleshooting and repair of production line equipment. In my most recent assignments I excelled in managing up to seven individuals involved in every aspect of maintaining electrical, mechanical, pneumatic and hydraulic production line equipment. I have a strong belief in a precision maintenance philosophy that supports preventive, predictive and a reliability centered maintenance approach to maintaining equipment and assets. Furthermore, I have a Safety first consciousness with a desire to work in a world class and continuous learning environment. My recent career at the Firestone Plant in Oklahoma City has allowed me to acquire the knowledge of PLC’s, ladder logic programming, AC and DC motor controls and drives along with my expertise in reading and interpreting mechanical and electrical blue prints and schematics. If you can use an accomplished management professional whose knowledge of industrial equipment maintenance and repair and exceptional training abilities have been tested in challenging environments, then I look forward to hearing from you soon. I assure you in advance that I have an excellent reputation and would quickly become an asset to your organization. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Russell Garrett Enclosure
