Cover Letter for Engineering Jobs
Cover letters are a very useful and efficient official document for communication. They are used extensively by both the employers and the employee for sending and receiving official messages and proposals. They are used for a wide range of purposes, starting from acknowledging a job offer to writing a resignation letter.
A follow-up cover letter comes under the category of cover letters. People tend to confuse this cover letter with a thank you cover letter. A thank you cover letter is very different from this one. One is written just to thank the employer or recruiter for any favor granted while the other is written in order to remain updated with the process of recruitment.
If you are planning to draft a follow-up cover letter and you are not sure how to do it, or you are not sure about how the pattern should be, then take help of the two samples given below.

Dear Mr. Smith,
Thank you so much for calling me up today. I tried to contact you many times yesterday, but I failed to talk to you. I was informed by one of my friends that, there are some job opportunities in your company, so I wanted to talk to you regarding that. I thank you once again for calling me. Talking to you was indeed very fruitful and beneficial for me, as I could get to know about the vacancies in your company. I was also able to gauge my skills and qualifications in accordance with the job that will suit my profile.
I have updated my resume, wherein I have highlighted my goals and career objective. I would request you to go through my resume and consider whether I am suitable for the post or not. I was also able to talk to some people, whose reference you had given me. They helped me a lot in understanding the profile and the nature of the job. I thank you for that also.
I would be really glad if I can meet you in person and share with you my views regarding my objective. It would be very good if you could arrange an interview in this week. Meanwhile, if you have any queries you can feel free to contact me at anytime.
Sincerely,
