Ms. Martin:

-------- greeting to specific contact person
I am interested in exploring
entry level opportunities in the quality control training
program at Johnson & Johnson, Inc. I will graduate this May from
the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a Bachelor of Science
degree and major in Agricultural Business Management. Based on
my interest in production and plant management, the Career
Services Office on campus suggested I contact you.
As you will note on my enclosed
resume, my production internship with the Inland Steel
Corporation last summer included practical experience in quality
control. In addition, I have taken a number of manufacturing
related courses, including: Collective Bargaining, Labor
Problems, and Research Methods. I have also financed a major
portion of my college education while attending the university
as a full time student and have been active in many activities.
My high energy level and enthusiastic interest in the production
phase of manufacturing would make me a good candidate for
Johnson & Johnson's training program.
I plan on visiting the New York
/ New Jersey area in mid-December, and I would hope to arrange
an interview with you during that time. I would appreciate
hearing from you at your earliest convenience. If you have any
questions or need additional information, please contact me. I
can be reached at home after 5:00pm or you may leave a message
on my answering machine or E-mail and I will respond promptly. I
look forward to meeting you! Thank you for your time and
consideration. |
