Mr. Jason Daniel
Hiring Manager
Pacific Fleet
38 Industrial Square
Phoenix, AZ
Dear Mr. Daniel:
I was excited to see that Pacific Fleet is seeking an entry-level Rigger. With my passion and knowledge of rigging work, I deem myself the best contender for this role.
You require someone with the basic know-how of rigging operations and I am skilled in setting up braces and hoisting equipment to aid in lifting, relocating, and maintaining basic rigging equipment. My familiarity with workplace safety hazards and relevant protocols is another plus point that will come in handy at the Pacific Fleet.
I am a quick learner who can take a grasp on new tasks very quickly. Here is a list of my qualification and skills:
- Heavy machinery operations certification
- Alert, energetic, and dexterous
- Good eye-hand coordination
- Profound ability to read and interpret drawings and figures
- Quick learner with strong communication skills
As part of my summer internship, I worked at an earthquake rehabilitation site in the Windsor Beach area. That experience familiarized me with the use of heavy machinery. I was especially drawn towards cranes and rigging equipment and that experience inspired me to choose this profession.
I would like to discuss my candidacy with you in detail. Please feel free to call me at (000) 951-5251. Thank you for your time and consideration. The attached resume details my skills that match your job requirements.
Sincerely,
David Nelson
