Bruce Power Letter And Resume

December 9, 2009 Bruce Power Human Resources Department

Dear Sir/Madam: When you are keen to make a career change it is critical to look at how the skills you have developed in current and previous positions will transfer to the new position you are investigating. This is exactly what I have done in considering submitting my resume as an application for the position of a FLM Warehouse-Stockkeeping for Bruce Power. While working as the Logistics Supervisor for Gallagher Power Fencing Canada and also as a volunteer firefighter, I have achieved a perfect safety record. I am a physically fit self-directed learner, work well under pressure and I am able to multi-task and prioritize in a busy work environment. I have established an open, caring attitude with colleagues and our 600 dealers in order to build a strong team relationship. I am able to trouble-shoot basic problems with electric fences and I am proficient at repairing energizers that are used to supply power to electric fences. Enclosed is my resume and I look forward to the opportunity for an interview in order to demonstrate how I would be a valued employee.

Sincerely, Michael Adams
