Hello. My name is Sergii. I would like to apply for the position of Project Manager. With 20 years of experience in the IT industry, I have a good understanding of the challenges your
company is facing and I have a good set of tools to be successful in the projects that need to be
completed.

I am sure that my experience will be useful to you, as it includes both the experience of managing projects/people and the software development experience.

My technical experience enables me to participate in technical discussions, see and analyze technical risks and make better decisions to effectively use the project budget, not complicate the project at the beginning of development, and at the same time not accumulate technical debt.

The result is what makes sense for me. However, to achieve the desired result, a motivated team, team expertise and a well-managed process are needed. My role is to create
the conditions for this to happen.

Also I would like to share with you some personal circumstances which give me extra motivation to get this job. The war in Ukraine forced me to look for a safer place for my family. Our family moved to Canada and now my children can go back to school and our family can contribute to society which became our second home. 

For me, it is preferable to have a job in the office in order to be able to interact more closely with colleagues and quickly learn Canadian traditions and culture.

I have a 3 year visa and open work permit and we are planning to apply for permanent residence.

As you can see I have very good experience and motivation to become a successful member of your team. I will be happy to tell you about myself and my experience in more detail at a personal meeting.
