Cover Letter

Header

Opening:

1. As I am currently a student in Building Construction Management at Purdue University, I feel that I am well qualified for the Construction Management Intern position available in California.

2. I have enjoyed my residential classes this past year, and have found that Pulte is a hard working company that cares for its employees as much as it does for its customers.

3. I learned of the position while viewing the company's website, and felt that I would make a great candidate for the internship position.

Body:

1. I grew up knowing the Pulte name, as many of your neighborhoods are located around the Chicagoland area.

2. The quality of your homebuilding is something that I would like to learn, and I feel that I can add to this quality.

3. Some of the skills that I possess are my great work ethic, I strive for perfection, and enjoy hard work.

4. I feel that the experiences I have had will also add to the company's success.

I have worked for 4 years at NAPA auto parts, at this job I learned customer service, how to handle disgruntled customers, and how to sell product.

I also worked as a construction laborer in the summer of 2008, learning the basics of framing and using panelled walls.

Feedback

I needed more from this than numbered sentences. For your cover letter, be sure to add more detail about what you gleaned from your experiences that applies to the specific job. I do like the way you brought in the company and you obviously do have good experience to discuss, which is definitely workable!
