Date: Nov 10th, 2009. Ms. Andrea J. Garner, Emerson Motor Co. 8050 West Florissant Avenue St. Louis, MO 63136 Dear Ms. Garner, I am writing in response to the Product Support Engineering Co-op Flyer that I received from Cindy Korte. I would like to know more about position and have opportunity to interview at Emerson Motors. As my resume explains, I have good technical experience and a strong academic background that will allow me to quickly become familiar with the products and practices at Emerson. In my coursework, I have obtained a sound overall knowledge of the principles that I believe would be important to this position. I am currently designing a hydrostatic bicycle for my Capstone Senior Design Project. In this project I am the team member responsible for the analysis that determines the pump and motor requirements. I also have much experience with technical software packages such as: Matlab, Python, AutoCAD, Excel, and Labview. My analytical and trouble-shooting skills would be useful at Emerson. I am motivated, resourceful, and disciplined and I believe that I could make a significant and valuable contribution in my time spent as a Co-op as Emerson Motors. I would appreciate the opportunity to interview for this position. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Zachary W. Herren, Mech. Eng. Student SIU Edwardsville.
Please review my resume, which follows.
