Dear Mr. J. Chretien 
 
After attending your information session at Thompson Rivers University I would 
like to apply for employment with Chretien Engineering Ltd.  I have a keen 
interest in design and drafting and have experience in mechanical and civil 
engineering, and will graduate in May 2010 with a diploma in Architectural 
Engineering Technology (ArET). 
 
My interest in drawing and designing is what led to my enrolment in the ArET 
program.  In the summer of 2008 I was employed by the District of Tumbler 
Ridge as a summer student in the engineering department.  I was responsible for 
the testing of asphalt and ensuring that the asphalt met design specifications.  I 
also assisted Engineering Technologist, Paul Martin, in many surveys and road 
reconstruction.  In June 2009, I was employed by Hornblower Communications 
Ltd.  This broadened my experience and gave me a greater understanding in the 
field of engineering and design. 
 
I am a very reliable, hardworking individual and know that the skills I’ve acquired 
will be of use to you.  I was honoured to have my skills recognized by TRU 
through a scholarship award of $500 to the top ArET student. 
 
Thank you for considering my request for employment.  If a full time position is 
not available, I would be interested in summer employment or any relief work that 
is available.  To set up an interview, please contact me at (250) 555.5555 or e-
 
Sincerely 
 
Joe Jobs
