Sir:
In reply to your advertisement in Manila Bulletin of January 8. I learned that your company is employing college students of electrical engineering each summer as assistant electricians. I would like to submit my application for that position.
For the last two years. I have assisted in our electrical Laboratory as one of monitoring and operations personnel. In fact I happened to be working with my professor in mechanical troubleshooting of some of our equipments. I become thoroughly familiar with motor controllers and transformers for the time I’m assisting there. The subject that I completed this year in electrical production covered transformer rewinding and motor rewinding .I also have ample knowledge in house wiring.
As for my personal character and ability, I have enclosed and the names of the persons who have consented to express an opinion about me.
I shall be very glad to come to your office for an interview at any time convenient to you.
Respectffully Yours,
Jhon Abella
