Hi Janie

I would like to express my interest in this and potential other positions that may become present within the various companies you have on your books, in similar roles on an International level. At present I am based in Canada, but originally from the UK.

You will see by the attached resume that I have vast international experience within the automotive industry and I feel this depth of knowledge along with my experience and qualifications will meet your requirements and will prove that I am a strong candidate for different roles; therefore I am enclosing my resume for your review.

In my last position working at OEM level I had full responsibility for the daily operations within the market acting as the direct interface between dealer, Sales office and then back to OEM/Manufacture. This included full planning and support in all areas of the business. Within this role I have successfully developed strong relationships with dealers, management and owners, to ensure a strong and stable growth within the market, leading to enhanced CSI scores.

I possess excellent communication and problem solving skills, and I work well both independently and as part of a team. I respect and maintain confidentiality and information at all times.

I would like to thank you in advance for your consideration and I look forward to further discussing my qualifications with you at your earliest convenience.

Kind regards

Jim
