Dear Sir or Madam,

I am submitting my resume in consideration for the posted position of property c
laims adjuster. My goal is to work for a third party administrator or provider e
mployer. As a personal survivor of a flood, an ice storm and two hurricanes, I h
ave firsthand experience of the hopelessness one goes through with any one of th
ese catastrophes.
I have over 25 of design and construction knowledge in residential and commercia
l construction. In addition to daily and CAT assignments I have also assisted wi
th liability and workman compensation in the past. I have experience as a team l
ead during Hurricane Wilma, and can also work independently from my home office.
As a claims adjuster I always work to achieve the most proficient and equitable
resolution for the insured. Upon request I can provide copies of adjudicated cla
ims for your review, the most recent being an adjustment estimate on a foreclose
d property for a national bank. Due to the privacy nature of this material, all
partiesa identities will remain confidential.
I am available for an interview at your earliest convenience.
Respectfully Submitted
Chester W. Gauger
