To whom it may concern,

Through my career and education, I have held various positions and have acquired
many skills which have broadened my manufacturing and management background. M
y ability to learn and adapt to changing environments is demonstrated by the fac
t that I learned the requirements of my job while obtaining my degree.
Prior job experiences have provided me the opportunity of providing expertise of
proven managerial and leadership skills that span 24 years in a variety of fiel
ds. I was constantly placed into situations that involved tight deadlines and c
onstant pressure. These experiences have provided me the opportunity to sharpen
my skills and turn a potentially troubled scenario into ones that were both pos
itive and productive.
In conclusion, I have experience in working with a multi-business function envir
onment. I understand the various goals, objectives, and roles that different bu
siness functions achieve. More importantly, I understand that these different b
usiness functions must strive for synergies that allow a business to maximize po
tential and become a well functioning entity.
Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing from yo
u.
Respectfully yours,

Jason J. Dannenberg
