Dear Mr. Robinson:
My name is Ryan Willis, and I am about to graduate from Feather River College with an AA
degree in Environmental Science. I am intending to take a one-year break from my formal
education to do something meaningful outside of my major, and also hopefully earn some
money, not necessarily in that order. As you can see in my attached resume, I have had a variety
of experiences dealing with mechanical and electrical engineering. You may recall that I stopped
by your shop recently to pick up various E-waste items for reuse in my ongoing personal
projects. Both my parents and my older brother Greg have been satisfied customers of your shop
over the years, and I have been fascinated by the variety of vehicles you have serviced and sold. I
would appreciate an opportunity to talk with you about any possible part- or full-time work. I'm a
quick learner, especially in a hands-on environment and I have some experience with engines
already.
While I greatly value the classroom education I've received while at Feather River College, I
believe I have acquired more of the interests and skills relevant to the work done at Shadetree on
my own in our garage through experimenting, inventing and consulting other similarly inclined
people around Quincy. I've built and repaired my own computers, and I regularly do work on and
troubleshoot issues with machines owned by friends and family, as a bit of a freelance side job.
nd
I'm set to graduate from FRC on May 22 , but I would welcome an opportunity to interview
with you before graduation. I'll be ready to work any part- or full-time hours after that date.
I may be reached by email at rjwillis@frc.edu or by phone at (530) 283-1746 between the hours
of 1 and 9 PM every day except Wednesdays. Thank you very much for your consideration of my
inquiry.
Sincerely,

Ryan F Willis
