I came across your job advertisement in the Sunday Post regarding your opening for an entry-level Electrical Engineer. I am interested to apply for this job. I graduated in year 2009 with a degree in Electrical Engineering, minor in telecommunications applications. I took the state exam for Electrical Engineer Licensure in April of 2010 and passed with the grade of 93.8%. Although I do not have any substantial experience as a licensed Engineer just yet, I have had exposure working for an Engineering firm in 2009, whereby as was tasked to coordinate directly with the resident Electrical Engineers and to provide the necessary assistance in their operations. Some of the projects I was involved in are on semiconductors and vector works. Though limited as my hands on exposure could be, I believe that I was able to gain a considerable amount of knowledge to equip me as I take on my first real job after graduating and obtaining my license. On a personal note, I am an individual who is interested to learn more and would not hesitate to accept any challenge that I deem would make me better in my chosen field. Herewith is a copy of my resume for your reference. I would be available for an interview at your most convenient time. Thank you.
