Skills Cover Letter

(This is for a mining job (equipment operator) that will help finance schooling, family life, and general expenses for my wife and me)

To whom it may concern in Barrick Bald Mountain Mine HR:
My name is Skyeler Lucero and I am seeking an employment opportunity with Barrick. I believe I would be a good employee not only because I have never been fired or asked to resign from a job, and I have always had a good rapport with employers and fellow employees, and I have always given at least two weeks of notice before quitting a job, but because I have acquired skills over the years from various jobs that could mold me into a dependable asset for Barrick.
From three jobs I’ve held I have had to learn the importance of workplace safety in matters of flying or falling debris, semi-heavy equipment and machinery, loud noises, and air quality. So the use of dust masks, hard hats, ear plugs, gloves etc have all become second nature for me. My attitude about safety is one of soberness and seriousness.
In my current job I am becoming accustomed to a twelve hour rotating shift and a four on-four off schedule which is very similar to Barrick’s. My mind and body are quickly adjusting to such demands.
I have also operated forklifts and large van-body trucks which experience has given me the skills to not only move them around but perform tasks with care and precision.
I learn quickly and am always willing to train in new things.

Thank you for your time,
Skyeler

Mission Statement

To always love my family and friends and be as honorable and respectful as I can to them and the rest of the world.
To be a good example to others and use my talents and abilities to, uplift, inspire, and entertain.
To work hard and play hard when each is most necessary.
To live the best kind of life that I possibly can, and be proud of a legacy that lives on after I am gone.

Personal Values

My top ten values are:
Family, because duh.
Friends, because duh.
Beliefs, because they have helped me sculpt a life that is worth living.
Honour, because we should all be honourable people.
Sacrifice, because nothing of true worth can be attained without some sacrifice.
Respect, because all people should have respect.
Hard Work, because it makes one appreciate what they earn a whole lot more.
Interests, because they form our personality in a big way.
Hobbies, because we all need something to do with our spare time.
Victory, To me, it’s not about being better than everyone else, but rather being our best selves. Winning the “good fight” is not a competition between one’s self and everyone else. It is about conquering our own demons and impediments and achieving what we should hope our fellow beings accomplish as well.
