Dear Idaho Power Recruiting Team,

My name is Jesse Caudle and I am a Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Idaho,
and I am very interested in Idaho Powers internship opportunities for undergraduates in the
upcoming summer.
Over the last year, I have had exposure to many of the different aspects of Mechanical
Engineering. Between mentoring opportunities and an internship at the Idaho National Lab, I
have gained tremendous experience working in a professional environment with groups as well
as on my own. Along with this I was a part of many processes including conceptual design work,
system modeling, and troubleshooting with designs for quality and failure mode analysis.
Because of this exposure and experience, I have begun developing more personal goals and
aspirations for what I want to be and accomplish as a Mechanical Engineer. As I get closer to
becoming a part of the engineering workforce, I have started pursuing opportunities that I can
make an impact in, as well as be excited and inspired to work on. With that said, Idaho Power
has fit right into that category. Idaho Power as a company to me has been a great example of
what inspiration and engineering can achieve, and with the more experience and knowledge I
have gained in the past years, my interests in being a part of that team have grown as well.
An internship opportunity with Idaho Power would not only be an incredibly experience for me
as an engineer, but it would also be a step in the right direction of where I want to head as a
professional engineer. This internship would be a great chance for me to use the skills I have
gained from past internships and schooling, and apply them to projects and real world
experience.
I hope that I may be in contact with you soon, my email address and phone number is listed
above. Thank you for taking the time to put my resume into consideration, as well as reading
this.
Sincerely,
Jesse Lee Caudle
