Sample cover letter for Full Time position at Johnson controls

Dear Human Resources Manager,

RE : Application for the position of Engineer Trainee

I am writing to apply for the above position which is advertised on HKU Careers Fair 2016.

I am a final year postgraduate student in Mechanical Engineering at Hong Kong University, and expect to graduate in August. I will be available for employment from August 1^st. I am particularly interested in the Engineer Trainee Program because Johnson Controls is a Fortune 500, which has been globally offering products and services to optimize energy and operational efficiencies of buildings, automotive batteries, electronics and interior systems for automobiles. So I think I can be technically supported by intelligent professionals if I get creative idea in sustainability of building service. Also, due to the Johnson Controls’ excellent experience in batteries, I can acquire comprehensive understanding in batteries so as to put my knowledge of graphene strain engineering into newly green batteries.

You may be interested to note the following items on my resume, which are particularly relevant to Engineer Trainee.

National Youth Structural Competition I have got award is organized by China Science and Technology Museum and Samsung. In this competition, I have used five sheets of paper to make a creative structure with the height of around 20cm and it finally bears the weight of 67kg.

Besides the academic experience listed in my resume, my active involvement in extracurricular activities has nurtured my competence in more fields. I also work as volunteer in society such as “Hong Kong Child Development Fund Project Opening Ceremony” and photographer in HKU Marathon Cheering Team.

Additionally, I’m a native Cantonese and Mandarin speaker, which endows me the ability to communicate with both local and mainland students fluently. Also, I used to be the football player during my undergraduate year and I still persist in going to the gym three times a week, so I think I have a better endurance than others. I am keen on getting hands on new things too. Recently I took the chance to learn playing Cajon and boxing.

I look forward to having the opportunity to discuss my application with you. Please contact me at ------. Thank you for your attention and look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,
