Dear Ms. Hoffman:
1 st paragraph: Introduce yourself, explain how you know about the company and/or position,
and state for which position you would like to be interviewed
As a fourth-year student in the Cockrell School of Engineering at the University of Texas, I look
forward to seeing Lockheed Martin on campus during engineering week. Moreover, I learned
recruiters will be conducting on-campus interviews. I am writing to request a spot on your closed
schedule for aerospace engineers on September 15.
2 nd paragraph: Highlight the specific skills you have which are relevant to the job description;
detail your qualifications (but DON’T rehash your resume!)
My internship in

position within your Aeronautical E
