As a recently hired employee, I'd like to throw my name in the hat, I'll be applying to the CLO vacant position. You gents know the basics of my history, what you may not know is my ambition. I do not desire to lead this outfit, I feel its leadership is competent, what I would like to do is to be helpful to its leadership. I took my duties seriously in the navy, my time as the XO of the LABC Orion was served without dishonor. In the private sector, I feel those leadership qualities are just as important.
I'm an understanding man, a man of logic and fairness. My officers on the Orion respected me, for I was not a harsh XO, but I still took my duties seriously. I don't expect to just be given respect, what I do expect is the chance to earn it. In my IMG days I was on the board of a small mining outfit that specialized in gold. The outfit, unfortunately was short lived. USI is a big company, and I expect challenges, I would be disappointed if the job was easy. If given the position, I swear an oath of utmost loyalty, and to do my job to the best of my capabilities. I'm not afraid to ask the secretary for help (laughs), but I'm rather adaptable and a quick learner, required traits in my time in the Navy. I'm not afraid to get out of the office and get in the dirt with the grunts.
It's rather hard for me to try to impress, I am who I am. I tend to let my actions to speak for me, so even consideration for the position is appreciated. If denied, I will remain in the position I am and work to earn another chance and try again.
