Mr. Morgan:

I am interested in applying for the position of carpenter's assistant recently advertised in the Daily Local newspaper.

I have completed four years of training in the Carpentry program at the Center for Arts and Technology, Pickering Campus. I feel that I have the skills and the attitude necessary to be successful as an employee in your company. My qualifications include knowledge of carpentry theory, framing, wood working, strong math skills and good communications skills. My experience at CAT-Pickering has taught me to be a conscientious employee and to work well with others.

I will contact your office next week to discuss the possibility of scheduling an interview at your convenience. Until then, I can be reached at 610-933-8877. If you wish to look at my online portfolio you will see what I've been working on over the past four years. I look forward to personally meeting with you soon.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Joe Pickering
