Mr. Marvin Paterson, Manager

Hewlett Packard

16399 W. Bernardo Drive

San Diego, CA 92717

 

Dear Mr. Paterson:

 

In December 2003, I will be graduating from Missouri Western State College with a Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering Technology. I am writing to explore the possibility of employment as a Control Systems Engineer at your San Diego facility.

Early in my coursework at Western I seriously began considering future employment with Hewlett Packard. We use a number of your products in our laboratory work, and their design, precision and reliability are impressive. More recently, however, I noted in a professional computing journal that you are undertaking a new project to apply microcomputers in automatic control systems. Many of my electives were in the fields of control systems and computers, and I worked for three summers in microcomputer applications. I believe that I am well qualified to begin working on your new project; I know that it is directly related to my interests.

The enclosed resume details my educational background and experience. I will be in the San Diego area the week of November 1^stand could be available for an interview, if convenient. In the meantime, if you need any further information, you may contact me at 816.277.2222. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

 

Sincerely,

Enclosure

Dear Ms. Sullivan:

 

Ms. Susan Burns contacted me recently in connection with an employment opportunity as a legal assistant with your firm. Now that I have completed my education at Missouri Western State College and will graduate with a bachelor’s degree in business administration with an emphasis in finance and a legal assistant certification, I am enthusiastic about living and working in Kansas City. It is a good environment in which to learn business law.

Of special interest to me are taxes and tax shelters. I enjoy financial planning and plan on pursuing an MBA in the near future. However, as my resume indicates, I have had the opportunity to become familiar with several areas of business law through the legal assistant program at Missouri Western State College.

I am seeking career-oriented placement, which would allow for increasing levels of responsibility. It interests me to know how your office operates and what might my roles be as a legal assistant in the firm. I am a diligent worker and am determined to perform extensive investigation.

I would like to discuss employment possibilities with Sullivan & Barnes. I am available for an interview at your convenience and look forward to the opportunity to meet with you. If you need any other information or would like to schedule an interview, you may reach me at 816.424.7654

 

Sincerely,

 

Brenda Jacobs
