Dear Ms. Stephenson:

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 199X 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.

I look forward to meeting with you on January 28 to further discuss my qualifications with you. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Mary George

Tips to Make Your Letter More Professional

  • Research the company and the specifics about the position so you can tailor your letter to the needs of the organization.
  • Avoid using too many sentences that start with "I" or writing in the passive voice (ex. "This experience enabled me to..." or "Through my internship, I was responsible for..."); instead, make yourself the subject of each sentence and use active descriptions (ex., "In this internship, I demonstrated sound judgment and problem-solving skills on a daily basis.").
  • Do not use contractions (I'd, didn't, it's).
  • Spelling, grammar, or punctuation mistakes are out of the question! Cover letters are a reflection of your writing skills, so make each cover letter an example of your best work.
  • Be sure to sign your letters. (Black ink is suggested)
  • Keep your letter short and simple. This is not the time to tell your whole life's story.
  • Have a Career Specialist review your cover letters during drop-in hours: Monday-Friday 1:30 – 4:30 and Wednesday 8:30am – 11:30am OR you can make an appointment anytime.
  • Use good quality paper that matches your resume paper and envelopes.

And at last the main thing:

What should the cover letter do for you?

It should answer followings question - Why should I hire you? It should grab the employers attention and point out why you, above all other applicants, should be contacted for a personal interview. If you are answering this correctly in your cover letter, you will get interview call next day. Checkout how to write a cover letter for more information on writing a cover letter.
