To whom this may concern,

I am seeking to fill the position that is currently advertised on Craigslist: that of

the CAD Drafter for your company. If you are looking for someone with a professional

attitude, who will catch on quickly and put forth their best effort, I am that person.

Future conversations and working alongside me will attest to that.

I have worked as a CAD Drafter and Electrical Engineering Technician for the same

company since taking a position shortly after my graduation in 2010. I have applied my

degree in Architectural Drafting and Estimating, my knowledge of computer systems, and

my engineering mind to create many high quality deliverables for a wide variety of

clients around the globe. I work well in a team as well as a leader. My communication

skills and attention to detail make me even more worthy as a candidate for your

position.

I am confident that my career qualifications are fitting, which, I hope has sparked

interest and you would like to speak with me further. This is why I ask that you

contact me at your earliest convenience at 320-***-**** and/or

acfndm@r.postjobfree.com to do so. Thank you for considering me, and I truly look

forward to your call/email.

Sincerely,

James Larson, CDT
