Dear Chevron Management,

I wish to apply for an engineering job at your San Ramon headquarters. I believe that my qualifications and prior work experience make me an excellent candidate for the job. I maintained a 4.0 GPA through all 4 years of college while working a part time job and being involved in intramural activities as well. As well as good grades, I was part of the CSU marching band where I worked hard to be the drum captain.

I have continued my academic success maintaining my 4.0 GPA while being the drum captain and working a part time job at Dick’s Sporting Goods. Working there has made me work on my leadership and communication skills, and being section leader has polished my leadership skills as well. I know that working for Chevron will let me use all of my abilities and will only help me to excel even more than I already have.

In addition to working at Chevron, I will still help out at CSU as much as I possibly can. I will help teach drill, help with the kids learning music, and help the drum majors perfect their abilities and skills. I love music and I hope to be around it as long as I can.

After graduation I hope to become a mechanical engineer. I am commited to this goal as it is evident of my hard work to keep my GPA up. I am convinced that this proof of my hard work and dedication makes me a great candidate for the job. I can be reached at 970-302-7493 and derekjordan@msn.com. Thank you for your consideration and time.

Sincerely,

Derek Lewis
