Dear Mr. or Ms. INSERT LAST NAME HERE,

Thank you so much for the time and privilege of this on-site or on-campus interview with you on date. The described position sounds challenging, rewarding, and exciting; I look forward to your decision concerning (for) an offer to be on your _____ team or for _____ position or for an on-site or second round interview.

As mentioned during the interview, I am a senior that will be graduating in May 2013 with a Bachelors of Science in Information Systems. My education and experiences have enabled me to learn programming, systems analyst skills, and business skills that would be applicable to this position. In addition, I have an understanding of how to work well in teams and be an effective leader. My grades, numerous leadership positions, and awards I have won, show that I like to work hard, am dedicated, have effective communication skills, and am goal-driven. For example, with being the president of the AITP club, I plan on exceeding the high bar that was set last year by being able to be the first president to successfully send members to the national conference in April, 2013. I also enjoy coming up with new ideas for the club and implementing them. Because I am able to inspire others, my faculty mentor for the Illinois State University Computer Science/Information Systems Scholarship program asked me to be a peer mentor for this school year. Recently, I started taking my passion for Information Technology and love for helping others to new heights by blogging for the Department of Technology at Illinois State University to promote students in finite math classes to pursue an Information Technology-related degree, especially women. I also enjoy volunteering; I participate in various service activities, ranging from participating in a dodgeball fundraiser with my sorority, being a note taker for Disability Concerns on campus, and participating in an event to inspire middle school girls to pursue science or technology as a career. After talking with you, I am further convinced that my education and experiences will complement well with COMPANY's needs.

Thank you again for the opportunity for me to be considered for this career at COMPANY. The interview reinforced my interest in becoming part of COMPANY, as well as answered all my necessary questions. It also emphasized my passion for being a leader, being a positive role model, and getting involved in the community. This, in conjunction with the opportunity to work on a team, and my long-time passion for information technology makes me believe that this would be an un-paralleled opportunity. I can be reached at PHONE NUMBER or by e-mail at YOUR EMAIL should you need additional information. I hope to be granted the opportunity to be a member of your company.


Sincerely,


YOUR NAME
