San Jose, CA 95432
Dear Ms. Peterson:
In June 2003, I will be graduating from the University of
California, Santa Cruz with a
Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering. I saw
the job announcement of hardware engineer (job number 80251)
at your San Jose facility on your web site. I am very interested
in the position.
Early in my course work at UC Santa Cruz, I seriously began
considering future employment with Hewlett-Packard Company.
We use a number of your products in our laboratory work, and
their design, precision, and reliability are impressive. Recently,
I noted in a professional computing journal that you are undertaking
a new project to apply microcomputers in automatic control
systems. Many of my electives were 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 begin
my career employment on your new project which is directly
related to my interests.
I have enclosed my resume which provides additional information
about my
undergraduate work and campus activities. 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 two weeks to discuss the possibility
of an interview. |
