I received your position description of the Electrical Design Engineer through the Career Services Department at Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE). As a graduating Electrical Engineering major I would be very interested to begin my career in this position at ABC Company. Through my internship with Example Company, I developed a strong proficiency in AutoCAD, using it to design electrical components similar to those produced by ABC. My certification in Pro-Engineer will allow me to adapt easily to other modeling programs as well. Working directly with the Engineering Team, I gained a unique professional perspective for how industry operates that has complemented my extensive lab and group-work experience at MSOE. The team-oriented environment at ABC greatly appeals to me, and these experiences will allow me to work effectively in this position. My background and career goals seem to match your job requirements well. I have attached my resume for your convenient review, and look forward to discussing my qualifications with you in more detail. I will contact you within a week to confirm your receipt of this letter, and to arrange for a potential interview. You may also contact me directly at (414) 277-7119 or testy. mctester@msoe.edu. I greatly appreciate your consideration, and look forward to talking with you. Sincerely, Testy McTester Testy McTester Enclosure: Resume
