Dear Sir/ Madam,
I am glad to introduce myself as a diligent electrical engineer graduate from Latrobe University.
All my life, I have been fascinated by the electrical system, an area am interested in pursuing.
Upon seeing your job opening in Seek for the role of a graduate engineer (electrical), I knew it is
a position I wanted. With the most ideal training from Latrobe University where I studied
bachelor of engineering in electrical engineering for 5 years, I am confident that am the best
candidate for this position.
My graduate coursework and the experienced gained from my internship in SSH Company for a
year has assisted me to establish a strong foundation in electrical engineering, majoring in
electrical systems. During my internship, I was entrusted with several design projects alongside
