3 :: Why are you the best candidate for us as Transportation Manager?

I couldn't comment on other candidates for the job, but I can say that, having now been working in this industry for over a decade I have built up a very enviable amount of experience which I think other candidates would find hard to beat. For instance, I acted in this position for almost a year successfully managing a cluster which included three supervisors. Two of them I trained because they were new to the position. I did all the maps for my cluster and having no experience in map reviews was told that I did an excellent job. I also routed and kept pre k routes up to date. While acting in the TCM positon, I still managed to perform my duties and complete all required work for my current position. I believe my previous track record is clear evidence of what I would be able to achieve for you if you decide to appoint me to the role. I'm ambitious, high driven and I relish a challenge.
