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
*****.*.******@*******.*** to do so. Thank you for considering me, and I truly look
forward to your call/email.
Sincerely,
James Larson, CDT
