On a Personal Note:
I appreciate the opportunity. I’m a responsible, right-minded, young, single man looking for an opportunity to join a construction team oversees. I’m making good money and have enough work here, but I’m looking for the experience and knowledge to work for a bigger, well-respected company. I’m fascinated in all the growth in Dubai and would like to experience it first-hand. I am more interested in a permanent job than a contract job, but will consider both.
A major advantage is that I have a lot of “common since”, business since and am a quick learner. I’m used to making quick, educated decisions to solve a problem while considering everything from client, design, aesthetics, legal and longevity. I enjoy challenges and projects than make you think. I’m always eager to learn new methods and innovative products. Designing, contracts, scheduling, meeting and contracting is what I truly love and I will devote myself to my new employer. What makes me different from the other is that I’m a responsible, right-minded, experienced business owner that knows every side of a company, while still being young. I started working for myself when I was eighteen, starting building custom homes at nineteen, and currently am twenty-four. Yes, I’m young but strive on it. Please contact me for any questions, or an interview and I’ll prove to you and your company how knowledgeable I am and an asset to your company I can be for years to come.
Now, I don’t have a college degree, but I have years of real world experience, the inner will, determination and knowledge to succeed as an individual and have the dedication to my employer to keeping or gaining the reputation of a well-respected, profitable company.
Sincerely,
Mike Mitchell
