Applying for an Engineering Internship Position
For this
project, I will be creating a both a cover letter and a resume. The cover
letter will be in response to a known job opportunity as an intern for a
specific engineering company. The cover letter will be emailed to a
representative of the engineering company and be accompanied by a resume. The
information in the resume will, for the most part, be made up. I will be
presenting myself as a sophomore environmental engineering student at Clemson
University. The specific internship that I will be applying for is laid out in
this job description link:
I will be emailing my cover letter and resume to Carrie
Melchers, the International Programs Administrative Assistant at Water Missions
International.
Cover Letter
Dear Mrs. Melchers:
I am writing to apply for an engineering intern position
with Water Missions International for the summer of 2015. I am currently a
sophomore in the environmental engineering major at Clemson University, where I
have discovered an interest for the implementation of sustainable energy and
water treatment in underdeveloped countries. I relish the opportunity to bring
my passion for these issues and my engineering skills, along with a love of The
Lord and a desire to share His gospel, to the ministry of Water Missions
International.
Although I do not yet have extensive experience in an
engineering context, I believe there are components of my attached resume that
would qualify me for this position. As a part of the summer camp Staff at Camp
St. Christopher last summer, I further developed my ability to work effectively
in a community of Christian co-workers. I also developed my personal faith and
my ability to share that faith with others. As a member of the Staff leadership
team, I learned how to effectively lead others and spur them on to excellence,
while also dealing with conflicts as they arose.
I have developed my understanding of the pending issue of
worldwide water shortage by taking part in a Creative Inquiry course this past
year. The course was titled “Sustainable Living Solutions Well Drilling” and
was aimed at providing sanitary and easily accessible water to a group of
villages in Haiti. We developed a design and then traveled to Haiti over Winter
Break to implement our design. Through this experience, I have gained extensive
knowledge about drilling wells, while also learning to work alongside others to
achieve a common goal.
I look forward to hearing back from you soon. If you need to
ask any questions of me, I can be contacted at (843) 421-3509 or
wcaswell95@gmail.com. Thank you for considering me for this position.
Sincerely,
William Caswell
