Re:  Application – Troweler IV Position

Dear Mr. McIntosh:

Please consider my application for the Troweler IV position with your organization.  I have been involved in troweling various materials for nearly twenty years, both in this country and in foreign areas.  I have always worked closely with ODTAA (Organization and Development of Trowelers Activities Association) and have served as the liaison from Alaska to the national organization.  Bill Clinton, a former employee with your organization, recommended that I apply for this position.

I hold a journeyman Class A troweler’s license and have worked for a number of prestigious organizations.  My most recent employer was an unusual Alaskan company, Troweling, Trawling, and Toweling, that specialized in catching, drying, and cementing fish.  Additionally, I have a degree from a highly respected finishing school.  I am also a Microsoft Certified System Engineer, which has given me particular experience with small, cushioned sidewalks.

I understand the need to work hard, to smooth out the rough edges, and to work in a concrete sequential fashion.  I am dependable, punctual, and work efficiently from start to finish.  My skills in international relations, fish filleting, and arctic air conditioning should be useful in this position.

I am confident that with my motivation, charm, chutzpah and winning smile, I would be a valuable asset to your team.  I have attached a professional resume that provides an overview of my education and work experience and would look forward to the opportunity for an interview.  I will be happy to provide any additional information that you require.  I can be contacted at (907) 868-1000; also, I will contact your office to follow up on this application.  Thank you very much for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Hermione Herkimer
