Dear Human Resources Manager:
I am an energetic person who is a Maintenance Technician, plus a Maintenance
Manager with Computer Experience. I also have my Inspection Authorization and CDL,
class “A “, with air and doubles endorsement. I have my own tools. I am a person with
hands on maintenance experience and am able to weld almost anything, including
case iron .
Graduated from Parks College of Saint Louis University on May 13, 1994, I received
a Bachelor of Science in Aeronautics: Aircraft Maintenance Management and Airway
Science Maintenance Management. While studying to be a Avionics engineer I am 4
semesters from achieving that degree. An University of Alaska in 1984 with a A&P and
a AAS in Aircraft Maintenance I have worked on civil aircraft and military jets heavy
equipment, motorcycles and other small engine machines. When I was in the Navy I
was assigned to the flight-line and to the airframes departments. My duties included
troubleshooting and supervisory positions. My team and I performed our duties so well
that our planes could return to service immediately. That high degree of performance
earned our squadron the highest on-time flight record of all the squadrons aboard the
USS Constellation during "WESTPAC 79." I personally received a letter of
commendation for my performance and leadership abilities.
With more than thirty years total experience as a mechanic on heavy equipment,
trucks, and aircraft. In the general aircraft, I have worked mainly on singles and light
twins like Cessna, Piper, Beach Debonair, Bonanza, Baron, Britten Norman BN-2A
Islander. With the NAVY jets my experience is in multi-mission fighters A-4s, A-7s, F-
4s, F-14s, and light transports such as the C-1As. My specialty mechanical repair
management and logistics along with trouble shooting systems and composite repair,
and emergency retrieval of damaged aircraft. .
I received my A&P in June of 1982 and my Inspection Authorization in May of 1990.
7. Having held several jobs and attended several maintenance refresher seminars. Has
allowed me to stay current with aircraft maintenance procedures and rule changes. The
abilities I have developed over the past years as a manager/mechanic serve me well.
I have been asked several times why I have had so many jobs it is not that I have
had so many jobs but that I have good records of where I have worked. Some
employers hire me to clean up their shops and aircraft then because I am such a good
worker and don’t mind working overtime they feel I am to expensive and lay me off after
hiring someone who is not a dedicated to the job. I have hire standards for my work and
some employers just want you not to fix what is broke just put a patch on it we will get
to it latter well latter never comes.
I know that I can fulfill your needs and would be a good addition to your team. I
would like to meet with you to discuss a position with your company in more detail.
Please contact me at my home phone (907) 354-7262 , (907) 354-7267 or by email at
cdub_adub@yahoo.com
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Charles W .Harter
