To Whom It May Concern Thank you for your consideration regarding the position I have applied for. As you will see from my resume I have a diversified background. Currently, I am wo rking for myself doing painting and other handy man jobs. Creating my own busin ess was a great idea and opportunity at the time, but the economy has forced me to rethink that decision. Work has dried up and along with the uncertainty in t he market and governmental regulations, I am looking for a more traditional empl oyment situation. I have selected your company because I believe I have the skills and desire to w ork well in your organization. If you hire me, I will be the guy who is consist ently early to arrive and late getting home. I love over time. I live by the b elief that the job supports the life style. Because of that, I believe the job comes first and that everything else works off of that. I AM A HARD WORKER. I take pride in being someone known for getting it done and done right. If you take the opportunity to interview me it will be well worth your time. Gi ve me the chance to show you what I can do. Thank you again for your considerat ion. Sincerely
Christopher W. Powers
