To Whom It May Concern:

My teacher informed me of the great opportunity that is offered in the civil engineer/geotechnical engineering field.

I am Patrick Murphy and am a second semester senior at Sir Francis Drake High School who was been enrolled in the Survey of Engineering Academy for the past year and a half. I am attracted to a career in an engineering field after I complete college.

I am interested in this position so I can gain experience and learn more about this profession. I am a highly motivated quick learning individual who would excel to the highest degree in the position described. In my previous jobs I have supervised many other individuals and I have developed terrific leadership skills. I am quite capable of taking initiative and working without constant supervision.

I will look forward to our April 9 interview. You can contact me at my home phone (415) 927.2389 or daytime phone (415) 717.7702.

Sincerely,

Patrick Murphy
