Hi!!!!
Please help me in checking my covering letter too. I graduated with Masters in Electrical Engineering from FachHoch Schule,
Furtwangen this February. Now I am looking for a job in the industry. There is a Job fair in this month and following is a

Please let me know the corrections and where can I improve. All your comments will be very helpful. Thank you.
**** Covering Letter ****
Dear Mr. ***,
I am writing to inquire about future placement possibilities with YYYYY. I learned of your firm
while going through the list of the organisations that will participate in the career fair----.
Based on my research on your website, I believe there would be a good fit between my skills and
interests and your needs.
I have completed my Master's degree in Electrical Engineering from FachHoch Schule, Furtwangen.
The coursework has supplied me with a good understanding of Computer Engineering concepts and
likewise given me a comprehensive exposure to disciplines like Coding Theory, Computer Networks,
Digital Signal Processing, Multimedia Technology, Software Engineering, Telecommunications. My
reserach interests are primely focused on Mobile Communication and Embedded Systems which
supplemented me in doing my thesis in Mobile Multimedia and later followed by publishing a
conference paper. I am well versed with programming in C and C++, having undertaken several
projects in the same. Enclosed is my curriculum-vitae which further outlines my qualifications.
While working towards my Master’s degree, I have had a variety of student jobs and research
positions. The industry assignments have truly been a truly rewarding experience. Studying
for a degree and working have made it necessary for me to learn how to prioritize tasks and
have instilled in me the need to remain flexible. I have had to be highly organised in order to
meet deadlines both at school and work. Along with, I also developed an appreciation for team
ability, thanks to the senior and fellow colleagues in my previous endeavours. In addition to my
technical experience, I have excellent communication skills having given several presentations
and organised symposiums at the University.
With my strong academic base, starting a challenging career in a premier organization like
yours with focus on innovative research and development is a natural and corner stone of my
professional aspiration. I am certainly willing to explore this further and would very much
appreciate the opportunity to have a discussion with you in this regard. Thank you for your
consideration. I look forward to talking with you.
Your’s sincerely
