Dear Ms Dickens,
Re: Engineering Technicians
I would like to apply for the post of Engineering Technician as advertised in today's issue of the Tribune. I enclose my CV with the names of two referees. You will note from my CV that I have a National Certificate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and considerable experience. My work at S & T (UK) means that I am familiar with HVAC plant and systems including electronic system control. As an inspection technician, I have experience of a wide range of systems for product testing and component evaluation. I enjoy my work at S & T but would like now to broaden my experience, especially in the area of maintenance. I feel that I can bring considerable skill to the post together with the ability to work well in a team. I am also interested in further improving my qualifications by studying for an HNC, part-time. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely Fiona Weaver |
