Mr. Ralph Thompson Employment Director Owens-Illinois, Inc. P.O. Box 111 Pittston, PA 18671
Dear Mr. Thompson: Recently, I spoke with Ms. Simpson in your Purchasing Department, who suggested I contact you concerning employment opportunities with Owens-Illinois. I am very interested in pursuing a career in management and would like to submit my qualifications for your review and consideration. My B.S. degree in Management from the University of Scranton has prepared me for the realities of the business world by providing a blend of academic and practical experience. While maintaining a 3.1 cumulative average in my studies, I was actively involved in various clubs and activities on and off campus. In addition, part-time work during the past summers allowed me opportunities to gain first hand knowledge of business operations and management styles. This combination of academic success and involvement is indicative of my high levels of motivation and achievement. I am sure you will agree these are important qualities for managerial positions. Enclosed is my resume which outlines my training and experiences to date. I would welcome an opportunity to discuss career possibilities and my qualifications in a personal interview and will call your office. If necessary, I may be reached at (570) 288-6777. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to meeting you. Sincerely, Roger Phillips Enclosure
