Dear Personnel Department:

Your company caught my attention as I prepare to begin my professional career upon graduation last year from Brighton University, Brighton England. I received both a B.S. and M.S. in Civil Engineering with a good GPA throughout. I have both U.S. and Greek citizenship and am fluent in English and Greek.

I have worked summers, throughout high school and college, gaining valuable experience in the field of construction that equips me to present your firm with advantages others may not offer.

For example, as a construction employee of a Greek company, I acquired technical and interpersonal skills. Environmental impact and job site safety are areas of great importance to me. Dealing with diverse responsibilities on the job, I am not afraid of mental or physical work.

While in college, I completed a number of major projects in the field of Civil Engineering including onsite investigations and analysis of harbors, buildings, parking lots, and roads in Great Britain. Two significant assignments completed at Brighton include: Compressive Strength of Admixed Soil (Research Project for BS), and Sources of Damage Identification in Concrete Structures (Research Project for Master’s Thesis)

I would welcome the chance to discuss openings at your firm. If you will contact me at 661-***-**** or the above cell phone number), we can schedule a meeting.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Alexander Cost
