Let’s start your cover letter

Either copy this text your computer or you can download the automotive cover letter as a Word file. You will need to fill in the blanks, highlight the areas to be updated, and type over to make the necessary changes to benefit you.

Unless you are applying for a job out of state or where travel may be involved, a cover letter is not always something that would be left with an application or resume. The idea behind a cover letter is to get someone’s attention with a professional image and this also shows your typing and communication skills.

Dear (Contact person)
My name is____________and I am a student at _____________(school name)where I am finishing a 2 year Vocational Automotive shop program. I have worked very hard to maintain perfect attendance with a 4.0 GPA. In addition to my studies I have worked part time in the automotive field to gain as much hands on experience as possible, so the transition into a full time career will be a little bit easier.

I am very interested in a job position with your company and would like the opportunity to meet with you to show you my credentials. I believe with the skills that I have learned in my training program, I can be a great asset to you and your company.

Please contact me and let me know when we can meet. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
