During my time working for private home painting companies, my superiors regularly commended me on

Dear Ms. Leslie Knope:
I am writing to apply for the Laboratory Assistant position with Test-a-Rific Laboratories at the Corvallis,
Oregon, location. My background in chemistry, biology, and natural sciences provides me with an
excellent foundation of knowledge that I am excited to bring to your environmental testing laboratory.
First, I recently obtained my bachelor’s degree in environmental science with a minor in chemistry.
Through coursework and projects, I developed scientific skills such as UV and atomic absorption
spectroscopy, gas, and liquid chromatography, fluorometry, titration, and potentiometric calculations. For
example, I completed a self-paced laboratory course which allowed me to work independently and
become familiar with various types of analytical equipment. To be successful in this course, I needed to
determine the value of the unknown for each of ten experiments within one percent of the accepted value.
Based on this experience, I am confident I can follow scientific procedures and learn to use the equipment
in your lab quickly.
In addition to my scientific background, I am someone who prides himself on completing tasks efficiently
and bringing a strong work ethic into everything I do. For instance, as part of a recent restoration planning
project for my major, I had multiple objectives with firm deadlines to meet, such as site visits to the Bald
Hill Natural Area, project timelines, and budget breakdowns. I collaborated with three team mates to
ensure we always met our goals and communicated effectively about the tasks needing completion. We
provided a thorough assessment and recommendation report to the county to inform future decision
making.
This position represents a wonderful opportunity to utilize my background while gaining invaluable
experience within a working laboratory. I hope to hear from you soon about the possibility of an
interview. Thank you for your time and consideration.

To whom it may concern:
Please accept this letter of interest with my application for the Civil Engineer position.
I am a project manager with more than 6 years’ experience, working at the Los Alamos National Lab
(LANL), and a formal education as an environmental engineer. I have graduate level training that
includes experience completing field work focusing on soil and water management. I know that
managing our stormwater is an integral part of maintaining healthy water resources for people and
aquatic communities alike. This is why I am excited to help advance your efforts within the N3B Los
Alamos Legacy Cleanup Contract (LLCC) to protect our watershed.
I believe my educational background has provided me the tools to be successful in this position. I
graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Food, Agricultural, and Biological Engineering from Colorado State
University, where I focused on ecological engineering. I earned my master’s degree from University of
Colorado, where I learned skills to solve complex environmental problems. Following my graduate
studies, I moved to Los Alamos to gain project management experience at the NNSA Los Alamos Field
Office (NA-LA).
I have successfully matriculated from fellow to federal project manager to supervisor at NA-LA. In my
time here, I have supported the transition made by the Environmental Management Los Alamos Field
Office and am thus familiar with the N3B LLCC. Pursuing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam and
working to become a professional licensed engineer presents an opportunity to return to my
professional passions and a focus on scope that aligns with my educational background. It would be a
challenge I would be eager to embrace, and one where I think I could bring valuable insights from my
professional experiences here at LANL.
I am a collaborator, an adaptive learner, and I am willing to take risks within the boundaries of my
employment. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss this exciting and challenging opportunity.

Spencer Powell. I am an energetic and dynamic person, capable of thinking creatively, who also possesses
experience in business and finance. I am eager to develop a long-term career in management consulting
and am interested in discussing with you how my skills could be valuable to your organization.
My immersion in the world of civil engineering began as an intern at Hemisphere Engineering. Even as a

an ability to think creatively, understand complex information, and communicate crisply. I helped clients
understand large ideas in simple terms, motivated them to action, and then cooperated with a team of
global associates.
My wide-ranging college career has provided me with a combination of skills and experience that are
well-suited to the challenges of consulting. My senior engineering showcase project involved extensive
research and required me to convey my ideas concisely in an oral presentation and a comprehensive
treatise. Several leadership positions in a variety of activities throughout my years at Colorado Mesa
University required me to organize my time and resources efficiently and to assist others in doing the
same.
My distinctive background has well equipped me with tools that will make me valuable to Southwest

Dear Mr. Moon,
It was a pleasure meeting with both you and Mrs. Crawley this past Thursday regarding the Principal
