Dear Dr. Bryan:

Thank you for interviewing me yesterday for the associate engineer position. I enjoyed meeting you and learning more about your research and design work.

My enthusiasm for the position and my interest in working for AES were strengthened as a result of the interview. I think my education and Cooperative Education experiences fit nicely with the job requirements, and I am sure that I could make a significant contribution to the firm.

I neglected to mention in the interview my membership in the Society for Women Engineers at Utah State university. As a member of this student organization, I have gained valuable leadership skills and participated in a variety of community service activities.

I want to reiterate my strong interest in the position and in working with your staff. You provide the kind of opportunity I seek. Please feel free to call me at (801) 685-5555 if I can provide any additional information. Again, thank you for the interview and your consideration.

Sincerely,

Julia Edmonds
