Dear Sir or Madam,
I have been interested in a design related job since before I knew what engineering was. I have
been doing engineering projects all my life, from building with Legos as a child, to designing mechanical
parts in AutoCAD in high school, to analyzing mechanical systems in college. Hiring me would not only
be perfect for myself, it would be perfect for the Suburban Group. With a bachelor’s degree from Purdue
University and a life of engineering experience, you can be sure that I have the knowledge and the drive
to do accomplish what must be done.
I have been working with CAD programs for the past seven years of my life. The use of CAD
programs is by far my favorite part of engineering, and the tipping point in high school for choosing to
pursue a degree in the field of engineering. I started using AutoCAD my sophomore year of high school,
and I have since moved on to such programs as Autodesk Inventor, CATIA, and most recently Pro
Engineer. I have always hoped that CAD will be one of the main aspects of my career after college. I
believe that attaining a job in which my main focus is CAD will give me that extra drive to produce the
best work that I can.
Aside from my experience, I would also be an ideal candidate for this job because I am young and
healthy, meaning that I can work long hours and will rarely have to miss work due to illness. I also
currently have very few commitments outside of work, being a recent college graduate.
Thank you for your consideration of my application for this position. I hope to have the pleasure
of meeting you soon for a formal interview.
Thank you,
Jason M. Arnoff
