To whom it concerns:
My name is Christiaan Gabriël van der Westhuizen and I am writing to you as I am interested to be employed at your company.
I feel that I am the right candidate for the following reasons:
 I have a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Civil Engineering) from the university of Pretoria
 I did a lot of vocational work, whereby I worked mostly in the electrical field but still learned a lot about the workshop and
outside environment.
 I do have experience in the Civil Engineering field, whereby I did some work for JK Betonman, laying slabs and reinforced
concrete floors, and also roof thrust design and building.
 I am Afrikaans spoken, and am fluent in English.
 I have experience working on the following designs programs:
o CMSW32 Continuous monitoring systems
o EPANET 2.0
o EPA SWMM 5.0
o GeoStudio 2012 Student version
My qualities I bring to an organization such as yours are; loyalty as a dedicated and hard worker, trustworthiness, willing to go the
extra mile for my employer and customers, results focused to get the job done, team player that takes charge where the situation
requires it, life experience to make informed decisions while not being too shy to ask, and very keen to learn. I am a confident,
dependable, gregarious and bubbly self-starter, exude a positive view on life, mostly first to help others, happy to share with those
around me and I am good at problem solving. I am more than willing to undergo further education, especially in the electrical/civil
engineering field to extend my knowledge.
I can be a little impatient when things don’t happen fast enough or others don’t deliver as promised, but I am mostly there to lend a
hand to help the process along.
The only dislikes I have are dishonesty and people that do not keep to their word. In both cases I am able to deal firmly but
diplomatically with the situation.
I pride myself in the way I look and present myself as an employee and a gentlemen, but I am still a dedicated worker and not afraid
to do the physical work, and would always want to ensure that I show the utmost respect to my company and customers in the
workplace.
It is my firm belief that I will be an asset to your Company, and would welcome a face to face discussion to enable you to see the
qualities that are often difficult to put to paper in a CV or covering letter.
For further information please find my comprehensive CV attached. You are more than welcome to contact references I have listed
and they will provide a true view of who I am in a work environment and as a person. If you would like any further information,
please contact me on the following.
