I'm writing to express my interest in the Engineering role within your company.

My past work experiences in varying workplaces have contributed to my development of expert interpersonal skills and a work ethic that will be a driving force in any workplace setting. A major strength that I will bring to your company is my conscientious work ethic and the ability to be a team leader. I have experienced the struggles and accomplishments that come with working in any group setting as the team leader of the Shell Eco-Marathon senior design team leader and these experiences will pay dividends when transitioning into the workplace. I am confident that my previous experience and knowledge will help initiate new ideas within your company that will not only allow myself to grow professionally but also expand the brand of your company. Through consistently taking the next step I was able to always hold myself to the highest standards and carry a 3.3 GPA through the rigors of an engineering curriculum. It is these skills that will carry through to your company ensuring that you are hiring the best person available for the position and will receive an immediate positive turnaround from your hiring decision.
