Ben Hoffherr Stanley Coulter, Oval Drive West Lafayette, IN Dear Mr. Hoffherr:

I am submitting this application to become part of the Hoffherr Group. As an accounting student in Krannert School of Business at Purdue University, West Lafayette, I feel my education and class courses, such as Organizational Leadership and Supervision and Communications, have given me the experience needed to become a vital part of your research team. I have developed research and development skills through many past projects. Last year I was the team leader for an Organizational Leadership and Supervision class in which I was the main researcher for our group project that was based on “going green”. This project required us to do interviews, tour companies, and read articles on-line, in newspapers, and books. This experience in and out of the library has prepared me how to find research and where to look to find it. My initiative and communication skills were enhanced through a communications class, of public speaking, and working at Scotty’s Brewhouse, where I speak to people and inform them of our products every day. These speaking skills will be a valuable tool when the Hoffherr Group gives its presentation of the solution. I am interested in setting up an interview or meeting to discuss any of the listed experiences and others with you. Feel free to e-mail me anytime to talk about the position. Thank you for considering me for the Hoffherr Group. Sincerely,

Emily Kirk Emily Kirk
