Application Letter – Control System Engineer

October 24, 2005

Mr. Marvin Paterson, Manager
Hewlett Packard
16399 W. Bernardo Drive
San Diego, CA 92717

Dear Mr. Paterson:

In March 2006, I will be graduating from the Technological University of the Philippines with a Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering. I am writing to explore the possibility of employment as a Control Systems Engineer at your San Diego facility.

Early in my coursework at TUP, I seriously began considering future employment with Hewlett Packard.  We use a number of your products in our laboratory work, and their design, precision and reliability are impressive.  More recently, however, I noted in a professional computing journal that you are undertaking a new project to apply microcomputers in automatic control systems.  Many of my electives were in the fields of control systems and computers, and I have worked for three summers in microcomputer applications.  I believe that I am well qualified to begin working on your new project; I know that it is directly related to my interests.

The enclosed resume details my educational background and experience.  I will be in the San Diego area on the first week of November and I could be available for any interview, if convenient.  In the meantime, if you need any further information, you may contact me at 816.277.2222.  I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely yours,

Francis Escudero
