Good Morning! (Good start if you do not know name of key person.)

I am interested in the electronics job you advertised. I have no job experience because I won't be 16 years old until next month. I am a sophomore at AnyTown High School. My GPA is (optional).

Even though I have no formal job experience, I want you to know about my experience in electronics. I studied electronics in high school and took special classes at the Vocational Technical Institute. I received As in all my electronics classes.

You Want: My Experience:
Electronics Knowledge I can wire components, assemble and disassemble parts. I can rebuild and repair electronic equipment such as -Tape records -Stereo receivers -Car radios
Electronics Technical Skills I can solder, identify components (color coding), read schematics, and use test equipment such as an oscilloscope, voltmeters, signal generators.
Strong Interest in Electronics I read and study electronics such as Popular Electronics. Then I redesign circuitry, replace components, align tuned circuits in radios.

I look forward to discussing this job at length in an interview.

Sincerely,

signature

Sammie Sparks
