Dear Mr. Appleseed
I am currently attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and will graduate with a bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering in May of this year. I am seeking an entry level position in Computer Engineering with Compaq.
As indicated by my resume, my educational curriculum has helped me develop many skills not commonly included in the undergraduate program. Specifically, I have increased the breadth of my education by focusing on computer graphics and VHDL-based hardware design courses utilizing state of the art applications currently used in today's industry. In addition, my work experience has increased my knowledge of the UNIX and WindowsNT operation systems, my proficiency with frequently used engineering applications, and communication skills.
I am certain that the skills and background I have obtained through my work experience and carefully chosen curriculum will provide me with the tools to succeed with Compaq and I would enjoy the opportunity to meet with you and to discuss my credentials in further detail and to explore what opportunities might be available at Compaq. I can be reached at (212) 555-1234 after 3:00 p.m. or via e-mail at jack.b.nimble@school.email . I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Sincerely,
