Summary

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my keen interest in the role at your esteemed organization. With a solid background as a VAG Certified Diagnostic and High Voltage Expert at Joe Duffy Volkswagen North Dublin, I have honed my skills and gained extensive knowledge in operating within a thriving workshop environment at the main dealer level.

Throughout my tenure at the Joe Duffy Motor Group, I have demonstrated proficiency in various crucial aspects, including warranty repairs, warranty claims, expert-level training, fault finding diagnostics, technical queries, customer satisfaction, quality checks, and day-to-day administrative tasks. I have successfully managed the operations of a busy flagship dealership, ensuring an orderly flow of work in the after-sales department. My ability to effectively schedule bookings and prioritize tasks both at the front of the house and in the workshop has resulted in increased efficiency and customer satisfaction.

In addition to my technical expertise, I possess strong communication and interpersonal skills, which have been further enhanced by my fluency in Spanish. This has enabled me to effectively interact with a diverse range of customers and colleagues.

To further broaden my skill set and embrace new challenges, I pursued part-time studies at TUD, where I earned a Higher Certificate in Business Management and Finance Management. This program equipped me with valuable skills in accounting, management theory, business law, marketing, presentation skills, and information technology.

Combining my extensive training background, technical proficiency, and exceptional communication, motivation, and leadership abilities, I am confident that I would be a valuable asset to your organization. I am eager to contribute my expertise and make a meaningful impact.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my qualifications align with the requirements of the [Position] role. Please find my attached resume for your review.

Sincerely,

Kevin Jackson
