Dear Hiring Manager:

I am writing to express my interest in employment opportunities with your company. I believe my recently achieved BS in Electrical Engineering, strong work ethic and excellent employment history would be an asset to your organization.

I am seeking an employment opportunity that's more in line with my career objective of being a design engineer. There is very minimal engineering skill used in my present position. I am looking for a career opportunity to challenge my degree.

My qualifications include:

Recent BS EE degree with GPA of 3.3 and specialty courses in communication systems.

Two years experience as a controls engineer and a maintenance electrical group leader.

Highly competent machine operator with 15 years of production equipment setup, operation and maintenance.

Product testing and inspection in an ISO14001 and TS16949 environment.

Excellent communicator and problem solver who works effectively as an individual performer and/or team player.

Proven ability to interact effectively with co-workers, management, engineers, operators, and customers to improve cost, quality and cycle time.

A copy of my resume is enclosed. If you have a position that would be appropriate to my background, or would like an exploratory interview, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Michael P. Gehen
