Dear Hiring Manager

I am writing to you today to express interest in the Electrician position currently offered at Flagship Engineering. As a dedicated professional with many years of experience working with electronics and related technology, I am confident in my ability to be an asset for the company as it expands. Detail-oriented and focused, I am always excited for the opportunity to branch out.

I have spent most of my career working as an Electrician, repairing and installing things ranging from wiring inside small homes to ensuring light systems in large buildings work as intended. I have also done work on power lines. All of this has taught me the value of attention to detail as well as safe working practices. My commitment to the latter is what led me to advocate for better safety precautions and awareness of regulations at my job, reducing on the job accidents by around 14% since my initiatives were implemented.

I also have extensive experience in collaborating with others, both fellow electricians and non-electricians. On large construction projects I have often worked with others within the industry to plan wiring layouts and various electrical considerations within the rest of the building being fabricated. I also have experience in leading teams as I, typically, have been placed in charge of my own group of electricians during projects like these.

Thank you for your time and consideration of my application. I am excited for the opportunity to learn more about the position and what working for Flagship Engineering would fully entail. If you have any questions or concerns with regards to me or my experience, please don’t hesitate to ask. I look forward to all the new chances for personal growth and development working with the company.

Sincerely,

Jensen Pope”
