Dear Mr. Poon,

Engineer, Job Reference No. JSG400003000333840

            I am enclosing my resume in response to the job advertisement for the above post that appeared in JobsDB.com.sg on 8^th February 2011. As mentioned in my resume, I have recently graduated from the National University of Singapore (NUS) with an Honours Degree in Civil Engineering, and wish to begin my Engineering career at your esteemed organisation.

            I have experience in leadership and have worked with many different kinds of teams; two skills which I think will definitely help me excel at this job. My leadership roles in National Service as an Officer have helped me hone my leadership skills, particularly my roles as Platoon Commander and Company 2^nd-In-Charge at Basic Military Training School (BMTC). A key event that tested my leadership was my task to be Event Organiser for the Unit Level Games Day. I am certain that my leadership experiences in National Service and elsewhere will enhance my experiences at Sato Kogyo.

Another key set of skills that I think is vital is team-work. Having the privilege to attend courses such as Outward Bound School (OBS - Singapore) and being in the Executive Committee in the Hockey Club have helped hone these team-work skills. Furthermore, having worked on projects at NUS with a variety of student characters have helped me understand and blend with most kinds of people well, and I believe these team-work skills can and will help me blend in with the working culture at Sato Kogyo without hassle.

            I have no doubt that my interest and passion in Civil and Structural Engineering will enhance my working experience at Sato Kogyo. I am looking forward to putting my knowledge and best ideas forward in ensuring Sato Kogyo upholds its reputation as being the foremost in technological expertise and innovative construction techniques.

Yours Sincerely,

Caleb Raj
