Dear__________________:

 

I am currently seeking a challenging career opportunity in the Landscape Design industry and am submitting my resume for your review.  In advance, thank you for your time and consideration.

 

As demonstrated in the accompanying resume, for the past 20-plus years, I have specialized in grounds and turfgrass management from large private estates to popular 18-hole public golf course facilities. Throughout my career, I ve prided myself in effectively leading and managing both employees and budgets. Case in point is I helped save my golf course owners $100,000, or nearly 25%, from a budget I inherited.

 

Moreover, not only was I able to achieve this without compromising course conditions, but our golf course facility became recognized as the Hidden Jewel of Northeast Maryland.

 

 I am now eager to apply this background, coupled with my ongoing education in Landscape Design, toward delivering immediate results for your company while building a progressive, long-term career of mutual benefit.

 

As an employee, you will find me to be a driven team player committed to supporting you in achieving your objectives through superior performance. I am confident I will be a valuable asset to your operations, and look forward to interviewing with you in the near future.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Greg Krause
