Instruments and Control
Dear HR Officer:
As an Engineer professional with 20+ years of world class projects experience, in the fields of:
Mining, Oil, Maritime, Energy and Gas;
I learned that the best way to achieve success was to motivate the resources I had with well-defined objectives and empowerment.
A management belief based on integrity, quality, and service, along with a positive attitude, an aptitude for strategic thought and planning, and the ability to adapt quickly to new ideas and situations allows me to achieve consistent and significant results.
My Predictive Index Test says:
“As a manager of people or projects, Ricardo will be:
Broadly focused; his attention is on where he's bringing his team, and what goals he wants them
to achieve, rather than on the specifics of how they will get there
Strongly focused on cohesion, communication, morale, and team accomplishment; he achieves
his goals through them and with them
Comfortable delegating authority; he is eager to discuss his ideas with others is amenable to
changing his mind if it helps his overall goal
At ease in delegating details and implementation plans
Quick, friendly and broadly-focused when following-up on delegated tasks; he is eager to get
details completed quickly, freeing up his team to work on the next objective
Flexible in working with different kinds of people
Engaging and enthusiastic – confident in his ability to persuade others towards his point-of-view.”
I hope that you will find that this brief view, in combination with the attached resume, describes a dedicated team member and leader with the experience and skills to meet a job position within your organization.
Sincerely
Ricardo L Falconi
