Engineering Manager

Greetings:

I would like to introduce myself in hopes of becoming a member of your

team, if you will please consider me for any engineering openings that you

may have now or in the near future. My name is John Taylor, and I earned

my undergraduate degree in Industrial & Systems Engineering from the

Georgia Institute of Technology with high honors. For the past three and a

half years I have been working in Georgia Tech Athletics in Facilities

management. However, I feel that I am now ready for a more challenging

career opportunity, and am looking for a position more directly involved in

my original field of engineering, or one to combine my engineering and

analytical skills with my facilities management work experience. I am

certain that my engineering abilities have only been strengthened by the

efficiency improvement work experience, people skills, and additional

education which I have recently gained.

A copy of my resume is attached for your review. Please take note of my

successful degree and background and consider me for any full-time project

engineering or related openings. I believe that I have a strong work ethic

and excellent analytical and interpersonal skills, am an organized and self-

motivated quick learner, and a dependable team player. Thank you for your

time in allowing me to introduce myself and express an interest in this

position; I believe that I would be a great match and a valuable asset to

your team. I would love to meet or speak with you to further explore how I

might add to your company's success. Please let me know if you have any

questions. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

John T. Taylor
