Dear Mr. Jason Dehaan,

Department of Innovation and Technology as advertised at NACElink Network Career Services
Management System (JOBS4HAWKS online portal for students at Illinois Institute of Technology).

I am interested in working for the department mentioned above because I match the skills desired for
the position, since I have always been an organized person and have acquired a good writing and
communication ability as I attended school, became more aware about details and proactive while
working and besides that, starting college helped on these skills improvement. It is also worth to
mention that I am familiar with computers and some softwares, including Microsoft Word and Excel.

As my resume shows, I have had an 1 (one) year period of work experience and I have also
participated in a project for one of the classes of Mechatronics Engineering, which brought me details
awareness and capacity of being more organized and able to solve problems in a daily situation, as a
job in fact require. Thus, these skills make me a great candidate for the Part-time internship position.
