FOLLOWING UP AFTER A CAREER FAIR THANKING THE EMPLOYER AFTER THE INTERVIEW

Dear Mr. Grant,

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.

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 Hello Ms. Patel,

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.

After speaking with you, I am confident that my skills and past experiences would make me a good match for this opportunity. As we discussed, I believe my ability to quickly learn how to operate unfamiliar software as well as my past design experience would be great assets in estimating costs and monitoring production.

I am very enthusiastic about this exciting opportunity to join your company. Please do not hesitate to contact me at 555-555-5555 or student@umich.edu if you have any questions or concerns or need any further information.

Again, thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely, John Matter
