Cover Letter: Transportation
Dear Sir,
I came to know from the internet that you have a suitable job for my profile.
I have worked as a Design Engineer in RITES (the topmost Transportation firm in India) for a year before I came to Texas A & M University (TAMU). That work experience with ISO 9000&14000 complying company, helped me a lot in my 'skill and practical knowledge' development. This experience also added a good professional touch to my work and allowed my innovative designs to be executed in real life.
My responsibilities included mostly: geometric design, alignment decisions, pavement design and bridge (flyover) designs. I had even set up 32 templates for cross section drawings and some programs for bridge designs. Later on, all someone had to do was: just some minor changes in the framework or alter the input design values.
Yet, I have done surveying, real execution of roads and bridges for two months. I had two opportunities of international tender filing (as: a help to my manager & personal growth & that includes working on "Environmental Impact Statements preparation" and "Detailed Assessment Studies"); and once for "presentation for acquiring tender". The company had shown confidence in me and I had worked really hard and the end product was good. We won the tender. The tender for infrastructural development of the City of Jaipur (That Indian city from the James Bond movie "Octopussy"). 16M$ equivalent work. My dream had come true ... I could handle the responsibility. I felt proud but I knew that without the extreme help and support from my peers and Boss I could have hardly done that.
...But the point is I had really worked hard. (& English speaking helps!)
I acquire the information that I need. I don't blindly follow the things without understanding. I did not even believe the value of "Pi" to be "3.1415926535" until I "found out" myself. My passion for excellence doesn’t let me stay inactive. ...AutoCAD was must but along with that I learned MicroStation (though not to ‘that extent’ of expertise) which helped me have some competitive edge over the others. Normal softwares, C, C++ and VB made me programming guy when needed. ...And now, the added knowledge by some special courses and study in TAMU make some value addition for working in the USA. ...For working excellently. I believe in hard work, but that should be lively, without zombification to any extent. I follow that.
"Humility. To technical expertise, add humility and compassion. Do unto others as you would want be done by." ...was the thing my Teacher had told me once. I believed. & now... I find myself compatible with almost everyone. People are happy to talk & reveal to me. I feel good. The only problem I feel sometimes is: Would I get superiority complex for being so humble?
Well,
About Tech-wiz-ness and personal-goodness RITES' technical and HR people have examined me too well. So you can directly save on that front. ... Because if they think I'm within top 50 engineers in India, surely I'm worth for your company too.
"Potential" & "Willingness to use it" ... you'll find in me.
Try Test Adopt Improvise & Verify: That's what you'll like in me.
Should all these interest you, please have a look at my attached resume (BioLog).
...I'd love to be under the gratitude of your consideration.
...Looking forward for an interview.
Thank You for investing time to read this.
Sincerely,
~Dhananjay
