To Whom it may Concern,
My name is Jeremiah Foley and I am about to graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Binghamton University. I am writing to inquire about the foreign service diplomatic security engineer position I found on usajobs.gov.
My education has focused on problem solving and assessing solutions, as well as teamwork and technical communication. I also have hands on experience in working with oscilloscopes and multimeters as well as other electronic equipment such as electronic strain gauges. I also have experience in both producing and reading mechanical drawings, and a small amount of experience interpreting electrical and systems drawings which I have gained both in school and in my internship at a patent law office which required me to examine many electrical systems. I am also an able-bodied healthy young man who is both willing and able to meet the physical demands lined out in the listing.
I am very interested in this position because I feel very strongly about protecting our overseas interests and would like to assist in helping to keep our interests and our workers safe. I am also very interested in travelling and seeing the world, including the areas where the comforts I am accustomed to are unavailable. I am a very hands-on person so I am also intrigued by the physical areas of this position, I would like to have an occupation where I am doing more than just working in an office and your vacant position seems to be much more than that.
I appreciate the opportunity to work for the US Department of State and would look forward to travelling wherever this position would send me. Please review my resume and contact me with any questions you may have. I look forward to discussing this opportunity further.
Thank You
Jeremiah Foley
