Sample Cover Letter #3 – To Request an Information Interview:<br />

February 12, 2xxx<br />

Mr. Bob Smith<br />

Plant Supervisor<br />

ABC Manufacturing Inc.<br />

5678 Central Drive<br />

Toronto, ON K9L 0M9<br />

Dear Mr. Smith,<br />

Work Preparation eManual<br />

Peter Jones at EFG Financial Services and a friend of my parents, suggested I contact you. He thought<br />

that you would be a good person for me to speak with, regarding career options in the automotive<br />

industry. Given the changes the industry is going through, I would like to make the most informed career<br />

decisions that I can.<br />

I am a second year student in the Mechanical Engineering Technology Co‐op program at <strong>Humber</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong>. My career goal is to work for one of the big Auto Makers, or in the automotive parts sector.<br />

As I prepare my job search plan for a Co‐op opportunity for this coming summer, it would be most<br />

helpful to have input from a person who works in the industry, to help me better understand what my<br />

employment options are. It would be helpful to know more about the type of work I would be qualified<br />

to do, so I can structure my resume and interview approach accordingly. I am also interested in learning<br />

about career progression and growth prospects within your industry in general.<br />

I would appreciate fifteen minutes of your time, either over the phone or in person, to obtain your<br />

feedback on some of my questions about your industry. I will contact you early next week to see if there<br />

is a convenient time for you to talk. For background information, attached is a copy of my current<br />

resume. I look forward to speaking with you.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Joe Jones<br />
