Mechanical Engineering Engineer

To Whom It May Concern:

As graduation is one semester away, I have been evaluating my skills and how they will fit into my future career opportunities. I have been studying Mechanical Engineering with an emphasis in engineering management at BYU-Idaho. I feel that through my schooling and life experiences I have developed skills of problem solving and analytical thinking. While studying Mechanical Engineering I have been able to develop skills in calculating and presenting data that is useful in finding and resolving problems.

I ultimately desire to use my analytical skills in financial world and am in pursuit of furthering my education to obtain the necessary licensure. I feel that I can be a great asset to your company and I have the character of someone who will go above and beyond to learn and grow. I am an extremely hard worker and have had the opportunity to demonstrate that in many different aspects of my life, and I desire to continue working hard for things I love most. Having an engineering background will allow me to be an even greater asset to you, as my understanding of mathematics in the physical world can be very closely related to the financial world.

I will be graduating in December 2012 and desire greatly to become apart of your company upon graduation. I am capable of obtaining the required licensure upon graduation. I ask that you would allow me an opportunity to interview for positions with your company. I have provided a few references that you are welcome to contact with questions.
