As a 20xx graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology with a B.S. in Imaging Science, I have more than six years of image processing and remote sensing experience.

Participated in the Society for Imaging Science and Technology on campus. Completed a cooperative education experience with the Central Intelligence Agency where I collected Gamma Ray Spectra for radioactive material identification. I am most proud of my senior research project, which explored using remote sensing to monitor and assess water quality of the Finger Lakes. Based on my experience and educational qualifications, I am confident I can make an immediate contribution to NASA. I would appreciate the opportunity to further discuss my credentials with you in person. Thank you. Ella Cinder

Box 0123 Orchard Park, New York Dear Ms. Campbell: Enclosed is my resume in response to your advertisement for Project Manager. I found the wording of the description with emphasis on leadership, innovation and change quite intriguing. It is in response to such challenges that I excel. Most recently, I completed a Communications Project Management co-op with Carestream, where I developed and managed the communications plan for a global transformation initiative. Previous to that, I worked successfully in a variety of unusual situations, including the startup of a small technology company at Rochester Institute of Technology and developing a customer relationship management plan in Santo Domingo. In these situations, the problems (or opportunities) differed widely. They had in common, though, a requirement of an ability to size up the situation, assess the reasonable alternatives and execute a plan of action. My track record shows that I am able to do this. Additionally, I was President of the Student Government Association with full responsibility for all operations and financial activities. I am free to travel and open to relocation.
