To whom it may concern,
I am writing to apply for the software engineer position that has
recently opened. The opportunity to explore working for such a dynamic and
innovative company is particularly intriguing to me as a Computer
Information Systems major who is seeking extended experience in information
technology.
In addition to the knowledge I have gained through my computer
information systems courses, I have also increased my skills through self-
study courses. I offer outstanding organizational skills, which have proven
to be a critical asset in maintaining, and supporting system solutions. I
also offer strong verbal and communication skills, the ability to multi-
task in a fast-paced environment, self-motivation, and the willingness to
be a team player, which also plays a role in my strong leadership skills
developed through many years of leading group projects in an educational
setting.
I would like to expand my experience and knowledge in information
technology. Your software engineer position offers a unique opportunity to
acquire more technical and leadership skills, to connect with clients, and
to work independently and act as both team player, and team leader. I
believe that I could contribute significantly to your development
department as your company continues to strive and grow.
I am eager to meet with you to discuss my qualifications as outlined
in my enclosed resume. I will contact you next week to see if my
qualifications meet your needs, or you can reach me by e-mail,
****.*********@*****.***. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
