FOLLOWING UP AFTER A CAREER FAIR Dear Mr. Grant,
Hello Ms. Patel,
I enjoyed meeting you at the Michigan Engineering Career Fair last week. I appreciate you taking the time to speak with me about potential career opportunities with Cyberdyne Systems. I was very interested to hear about your work involving the rehabilitation of natural streams and have applied to the available environmental engineering internship position online as you suggested.
Thank you for taking the time to speak with me yesterday about the production engineer position with Cyberdyne Systems. I enjoyed meeting you and learning more about the role and the company.
I wanted to reaffirm my interest in working for your company. As we discussed, I am confident that my experience in teamwork and creative problem solving gained while working on the Living Building project with BLUELab at the University of Michigan would allow me to contribute significantly to your team. Thank you again for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from Cyberdyne Systems. Sincerely, Jane Student
