Dear Mr. Recruit,

I am very interested in talking with you about employment as a project engineer with B.I.G. Geotechnical Services and hope you will give my candidacy close consideration. I feel I have the necessary skills and interest to make a strong contribution to your team, and I would welcome the opportunity to demonstrate this in a personal interview with your recruiting representative.

As a recent graduate of Your City University, I have proven my ability to set and reach significant career-oriented goals. Some of these include:

• Extensive summer fieldwork as an intern with XYZ Corp.
• Achievement of a 3.76 GPA over my four - year B.Sc.
• Two years of active peer advocacy on YCU’s Student Liaison Committee.

I have enclosed my resume for your review. If my qualifications interest you, I would be delighted to meet with you to further explore opportunities with your company. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Jane B. Everybody
