October 1, 200XX
Mr. Marvin Paterson, Manager
Hewlett Packard
16399 W. Bernardo Drive
San Diego, CA 92717
Dear Mr. Paterson:
In December 20XX, I will be graduating from Missouri Western State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering Technology. I am writing to explore the possibility of employment as a Control Systems Engineer at your San Diego facility. Early in my coursework at Western I seriously began considering future employment with Hewlett Packard. We use a number of your products in our laboratory work, and their design, precision and reliability are impressive. More recently, however, I noted in a professional computing journal that you are undertaking a new project to apply microcomputers in automatic control systems. Many of my electives were in the fields of control systems and computers, and I worked for three summers in microcomputer applications. I believe that I am well qualified to begin working on your new project; I know that it is directly related to my interests.
The enclosed resume details my educational background and experience. I will be in the San Diego area the week of November 1st and could be available for an interview, if convenient. In the meantime, if you need any further information, you may contact me at 816.277.2222.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Ray J. Johnson

Thank you for taking the time to talk with me at length on the telephone yesterday regarding the research assistant position at Spelling Research Institute.

Again, thank you for your consideration.

| THANK YOU LETTER Following an interview it is customary to send a thank you letter to the person or persons you met while at the company. Anyone who has provided any assistance during a corporate visit should be thanked in writing. It is a matter of professional courtesy, but it also helps to establish a line of communication between you and the company representatives. Thank you letters should be sent within 24 hours of an interview. In most situations, a formal typed thank you letter is appropriate (see sample letter). A handwritten note card may also be a suitable way to thank the employer in some situations. Your letter should: - Indicate how and why you met. - Reiterate your enthusiasm and continued interest in the position. - Highlight your qualifications. - Provide important information, which may not have been discussed in the interview. - Convey your appreciation for the interviewer’s time and consideration. Thank you letters do not need to be on 81/2 x 11 inch stationery. You may handwrite a thank you letter on formal note cards. In fact, this may be a better way to communicate with a prospective employer. A personalized note will get priority by being placed on top of the stack of mail that arrives that day. It may be the first thing the employer reads as he/she goes through the daily mail. It is very important to send thank you letter as soon as possible after the interview. Otherwise, it has no influence over the final hiring decision. |

| LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE It is advisable to accept, in writing, any job offer you receive. This letter usually follows a telephone conversation and is used to confirm a job offer. The letter should convey acceptance of the offer and express appreciation for the opportunity to work for their organization. That is, assuming you really want the job. Do not accept an offer you are not sure of. If you are interviewing with several companies over the course of a week or two, be honest with the potential employer and ask for time to make a decision. You do not want to jump on the first offer you get because the next one may be the to-die-for job. Give yourself a reasonable amount of time to make the best decision. An employer should be willing to give you a few days or up to a week to decide. In your letter of acceptance be sure to mention the exact position, the salary and the start date, if known. Your letter should also restate any terms of employment agreed upon during your telephone conversation (i.e. job title, salary, benefits, and start date). While an acceptance letter is not a necessity, it is an appreciated courtesy and may serve as record of your conversation. |
