Dear Ms. Black:
I am applying for the Environmental Scientist position you have listed in
the Aggie Job Link database. I believe I am a strong candidate for this
position as I have the qualifications and experience you are seeking.
I am a recent graduate from the University of California, Davis with a
Bachelor of Science in Environmental Policy Analysis and Planning and
a Bachelor of Arts in Communication. These degrees have prepared me
well by developing my working knowledge of environmental impact
assessments, CEQA, NEPA and other environmental regulations as
well as honed my report writing and verbal communication skills. In
addition to my coursework, I have experience in the field. As a fellow
with the US EPA in Philadelphia, I reviewed and provided comments
on Environmental Impact statements, used GIS to update publication
quality maps, and interfaced with numerous federal and private
agencies. As a planning intern with Sacramento County, I conducted
a jobs/housing balance study where I incorporated input from the
public with County needs. At the Student Landowner Education and
Watershed Stewardship Program (SLEWSS), I honed my communication
and organizational skills through weekly presentations about native
species, ecosystems and soil characterization.
I feel I would make an excellent Environmental Scientist with ABC
Company. I have a strong work ethic, I work well with teams, and I
want to be part of a company that develops strategic solutions to make
the world a better place. I look forward to an interview with you to
further discuss my qualifications.
Sincerely,
Audrey Kim
