Examples of Cover LettersWhen applying for a job and sending of your resume, a well-written cover letter can make the difference between success and failure. Think of the covering letter as thing that will open the door and allow your resume to make it to the top of thepile.I’ve often said it’s no good being the best person for the job if you resume endsup in the trash.Below I have written some examples of covering letters for you to use as writingexamples. They should always follow the same format, be brief and to the point.There is no need to include too much detail that is what the resume is for.Cover Letter Example 1:Dear Mr. Jones:Recently, I completed a cooperative experience with an engineering firm inNorthern California where I was given the responsibility of managing a smallproject. I am looking for the opportunity to perform in this capacity for GancoEngineering. I believe my background and experience will help me be an assetto your company in a very short time.I have conducted survey and mapping assignments, participated in soilmechanics and foundation formation, and performed preliminary structuralanalysis and design for a grocery store. I was given the responsibility of producing a general layout for a new transportation system. I first surveyed thearea, produced a traffic analysis and survey, researched city rules andregulations for compliance, and wrote a twenty-five page report depicting thefeasibility of building a new freeway off-ramp. My mathematical skills areexcellent and I am very conscientious about meeting deadlines and completingtasks unsupervised. If given the opportunity to accomplish an assignment, I candevelop a plan that will meet the needs of the project.I am very interested in becoming a part of this project after reading your companybrochure and an article in the Civil Engineering Journal about your company’sinvolvement in building a new mall in the area. I can be reached at the addressand phone number below. I’ll be calling your office within ten days to inquire onthe status of my application. I look forward to hearing from you.Sincerely,
