July *, ****

I was informed that your company was currently looking for a Quality Assurance Specialist.

I received my Bachelors Degree in Video Game Design from Collins College in Tempe, Arizona.

In addition, I have experience in QA testing and first party TRC’s with D3Publisher of America,

THQ, Sapient Nitro, TracFone, and my current assignment with Beckman Coulter. I feel that this

job would be a great opportunity to expand on my knowledge and experience.

With my past work in QA I feel confident in my ability to reason and understand issues that

development teams are facing. I also feel that with my strong eye for detail and the ability to work

for long periods of time without distraction I have the ability to help find possible bugs or other

issues that need to be fixed prior to release. With my current experience working for Beckman

Coulter the importance of Quality has been stressed and I feel as if I have a solid understanding

of what Danaher and Beckman want in final products and I understand what steps need to be

taken to meet those expectations.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I am eager for the opportunity to be part of

your team.

Sincerely,

Wesley Martin
