Maintenance Porter Cover Letter Sample

Updated on: October 20, 2019

The following three questions always come in our mind when we write a Maintenance Porter cover letter.

• Who is my audience?
• What is my objective?
• What are the aspirations and needs of my audience?

 

And it is a good thing that they do since they give us the opportunity to self-analyze and determine what we need to put in a cover letter.

Explaining your experiences and skills in a story-like format is the best way of writing a cover letter.

Letters that accompany resumes allow you to go in-depth into the important qualifications that you possess and how they relate to job requirements.

First impressions count – and since a cover letter does just that (form a first impression), it is recommended that great care is exercised when writing one.

The appropriate content and format are important. As much as possible, tailor your letter to each job opportunity that you apply for. If for instance, you are applying for a maintenance porter position, make sure that your content is relevant to the position – as opposed to writing a letter that has general content in it.

 

It is important to show some personality but avoid indulging in hard-sell or gimmicky letters.

Attract immediate interest and get straight to the point. What follows is a cover letter sample for a maintenance porter position that you can use as a reference:

Dear Ms. Hancook:

Your advertisement for a maintenance porter caught my attention because I possess the qualifications set that your facility is looking for.

Owing to 10 years of experience in working in this arena, I am knowledgeable about using cleaning equipment and supplies in a safe manner and in accordance with safety policies.

Specifically, I have an excellent performance record in running maintenance directives of resident and office facilities. Being knowledgeable of state building codes and regulatory guidelines, I believe that I have much to offer in terms of preventative and general maintenance and repair services.

Some of my accomplishments in the maintenance field include:

• Reduced annual maintenance costs through improved maintenance functions.
• Introduced the Waste Buster system, which decreased overhead costs by 5000$ per month.
• Reorganized waste management systems, bringing down recycling costs by 50%.

I would welcome a personal interview with you to discuss the value I can bring to your facility in the capacity of a maintenance porter. I will be in touch with your office next week so that a mutually convenient time can be arranged.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

 

Sincerely,

 

Mason Pattison
