RespectedSir/m'am,

I am writing in reference to your advertisement for a staff consultant as listed in the Southem Methodist University Career Center. I will be graduating in May 200x with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering and I believe my qualifications to be consistent with those desired by your firm.

Throughout my collegiate career, I have attempted to stay well-rounded combining academic excellence with leadership and work experience. By majoring in Electrical Engineering with a concentration in Biomedical Engineering, I have been exposed to all facets of scientific and analytic disciplines from mathematics to circuit analysis to Fortran. Beginning with my appointment to the President's Developing Leadership for Tomorrow freshman year, I have chosen to actively participate and take on responsibility in community service and campus activities during my four years at SMU. I have also worked continuously while in college. I am currently working at MJ Skyline in Dallas, a technology management company, generating reports and updating their database. My previous work experience has provided me with a strong exposure to both corporate and technical environments and has taught me the importance of team work and open communication with clients and coworkers.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Your Name
