To Whom It May Concern:
As an experienced architectural and civil engineer, I am looking for a new direction in my career.
The survey crew member position with Pentree Inc. is the career I have been looking for. I am
looking for a position to farther my career path in the engineering field.
I graduated from Bluefield State College, receiving a Bachelors of Science in Architectural
Engineering Technology and an Associate of Science in Civil Engineering Technology degrees
in May of 2010. As you will see on my resume, I became certified CAD/Drafting in 2004 at
Wyoming County Career and Technical Center. By getting this certification, I was able to put
the skills I had learned to the test and placed second in the state of West Virginia at the 2004
Skills USA/VICA Competition in Architectural Drafting. Also, I was able to test out of
AutoCAD class at Bluefield State College with an A. I’m skilled in Google Sketch Up, Carlson
Software, and a fast learner when it comes to software.
I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you regarding an employment opportunity. If

Sincerely,
