Sample cover letter for Full Time position at LEK

This letter and the attached resume serve as my application for the Associate position at LEK Consulting. After

speaking with Jo Kimmer at Stanford’s Career Fair on October 9, I believe my skills, academic training, and

work experience are a good fit for this position.

I will complete a Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering in June 20XX. I have developed strong

analytical and quantitative skills through coursework in technical, computer science, and economics courses.

In addition, my hands-on experience in various internships and student leadership positions supports my

qualifications as an Associate.

As an intern at General Motors this past summer, I developed analytical skills by taking measurements

on a development vehicle identifying design problems, offering solutions for improvement, and making

recommendations in a written report. I was awarded a General Motors scholarship for my exceptional

contributions as a member of the S-10 Crew Cab launch team.

At Stanford, I demonstrated leadership ability by serving as the elected president for a service organization with

over one hundred active members. In this effort, I honed my ability to make good decisions, plan and organize

my time, work well on a team, and have developed sound interpersonal, oral, and written communications

skills. Finally, I bring an entrepreneurial spirit and creativity to this position, as evidenced by my experience

designing, patenting, and marketing my own product.

I would enjoy speaking with you further to discuss, in detail, how I am a match for the Associate position. I

will follow up in two weeks to see if there is additional information you would like me to provide or answer

questions you may have (another option: I am eager to apply my energy, experience, and enthusiasm to the

work of LEK and look forward to hearing from you soon.).
