Subject: Application for position of Chemical Engineering Assistant

Dear Mrs. Smith,

I write to introduce myself, James Taylor for the advertised position of Chemical Engineering Assistant at Rochester Institute of Technology. I have also enclosed my resume along with this cover letter with more details on my career background, for this great opportunity.

Over the past four years of my career as a Chemical Engineering Assistant at Kelly Engineering Resources, I have helped in many research and analysis programs; as well as learned a great deal from senior Engineers. During my time pursuing a Master’s Degree in Chemical Engineering, I not only learned a great deal about various structures, interactions, and scientific histories on the subject; but also, had opportunity to work hands on in a lab at Chemical And Bio-molecular Engineering Laboratory, as a part of this coursework. In this internship position, I helped scientists gather data, brainstorm hypotheses, store and organize research materials.

I am now seeking to expand my knowledge in Chemical Engineering, and believe that your company would be a great opportunity for this-as you are one of the leading Chemical Engineering labs in the country. I ask that you review this cover letter and resume at your convenience to learn more about my background. Thanks so much for your time.

Yours Sincerely,

(Signature hand written in blue pen ink)

James Taylor
