To Whom It May Concern:
This letter and the enclosed resume is an expression of my interest in seeking the Performance Tester position at 3k Consulting. With 2 years of IT experience I am certain that I would be the perfect candidate for the current position at your organization. In addition to my experience at CIBC I hold a Diploma in Software Engineering from Centennial College where I gained various types of Software testing knowledge. At my previous coop work term, I gained extensive abilities in performance and load testing using an HP Loadrunner. My supervisor has commented me as a technology competent and a good team player. I am confident that my software engineering Diploma along with my work experience and the qualifications would make me an excellent match for this position
I have read the job description posted and would like to enforce my position as the lead candidate for this position. I am self-motivated, independent, energetic, and eager to learn new skills and ready to adapt my previous skills and knowledge in computers. My initiative to learn and take on new projects will make sure that your organization will see me as a value added resource to the team. I learn fast, and once I learn a task I am able to complete it with minimal supervision. I am not afraid to help the team in other areas when the projects near deadlines and working late and hard are second nature to me.
I differentiate myself from the other candidates because I am a hard worker, problem solver, energetic, and dynamic individual who has no doubt that I will fit into the team. My personality is outgoing and can easily get along with all members of the team to create that family and tight team to help get the work done effectively and efficiently.
Throughout my career and education, I have consistently met and exceeded all organizational/educational goals and targets. I am a very thorough individual who performs beyond expectations and is driven to seek growth and challenges.
I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss how my knowledge, skill set, and professional attributes can meet your current and future needs. Thanking you in advance for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Farha Jakda
