Dear Mr. Patterson:

I am writing to explore the possibility of employment as a control systems engineer at your San Diego facility.

I am currently employed as a laboratory engineer. We use a number of your products in our laboratory work, and their design, precision, and reliability are impressive. More recently, however, I noted in a professional computing journal that you are undertaking a new project to apply microcomputers in automatic control systems. Much of my study has been in the fields of control systems and computers, and I worked for three summers in microcomputer applications. I believe that I am well qualified to make an excellent contribution to your new project, which is directly related to my interests.

I have enclosed my resume which provides additional information about my graduate work and technical skills. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss how my education and experience would be consistent with your needs. I will contact you by phone within ten days to discuss the possibility of an interview.

Sincerely,

 

Ray Johnson
