How do you write a cover letter for a job at San Diego Gas & Electric?

To that end, your cover letter needs to showcase your ability to make things happen, develop and implement new ideas, and how to work with teams to come up with new products, services, or processes.

Explain in detail a time that you were responsible for developing and executing a strategy for innovation and creativity. If you are a new graduate, feel free to use a college project as the basis for your story. Use specific metrics to help you stand out from the crowd.

Examples include:

• As a teacher, I identified a need for access to technology for my students. I recently completed the implementation of classroom tablets in my school and provided internet access and computer practice to over 500 students. This resulted in a 58% increase in computer access growth in one semester.

• As a payroll specialist, I implemented a new payroll and tax accounting system that saved the company over $1,000,000 in personnel costs over a ten-year period.

• As a project manager, I identified areas of bottleneck in the hiring process and spearheaded a task force to implement new technologies and strategies to overcome the issues. This resulted in a 17% faster hire-to-start timeline.
