Dear NDT Companies.

I have a HUGE desire to become an NDT tech. I am looking for a stable company that is willing to invest in me. For the past eight years I have met the demands of training and accomplishment required and expected by the military. This ability and accomplishment makes me a valuable asset to any employer. I am hard working, drug free, dependable and able to see a job through from the beginning to the end with little or no supervision. I love working with the best and with those who strive to set excellence as a standard.

My love of travel and meeting new people allows me to be "Johnny on the spot" especially when the circumstances are critical and difficult. I have the ability to think in and out of the box when situations arise. I have never been given a task that I could not complete in a timely manner. Anyone who knows or understands the military mind set knows failure is not an option. This has been the environment in which I have thrived in for over eight years. Perfection is not a goal to be reached, but rather a demand that must be met.

I am confident that with an interview, and the months that follow, I will be a proven asset to you.

Sincerely,
Edward J. Winters
