Dear Mr. Couvillion:
In May I will graduate from Louisiana Tech University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management and Entrepreneurship with a minor in Aviation Management. I am writing to explore the possibility of filling the position as the new Airfield Manager at the Lafayette Regional Airport.
I am aware that the Lafayette Airport is preparing to enter into a massive terminal remodeling project and exploring the avenues of new airline service. Many of my elective classes were in the field of air carrier management and operations; therefore I am familiar with airline operations and procedures. Through my major I have extensive knowledge of operating practices, such as record keeping, office layout, personnel and budgetary requirements, and performance to create new systems essential to airfield and terminal management. My internship experience with the Deputy Director of Airports at the Shreveport Airport Authority, after my sophomore year provided vast opportunities for me to gain experience in coordinating airport services and activities of personnel in the airport organization. I learned the responsibility of studying management methods in order to improveworkflow and implement cost-reduction. I also had the privilege of working with air carriers to promote air service. As a person who seeks a challenge, I am dependable, creative, flexible, and resourceful.
My resume, which contains information about my education, work experiences, campus activities, and honors, is enclosed for your review. I believe I am well qualified to fill the position and experienced enough to assist you with the new terminal remodeling project. I will call within two weeks to follow up on my application. Meanwhile, if you want to contact me, I can be reached at (318) 555-0101 or CSmith@LaTech.Edu
Sincerely yours, Craig J. Smith |
