Dear Sir or Madam,
I have recently read your job posting for Search Engine Evaluator, and am very interested in applying for the
position. I believe I have a lot to offer iSoftStone:
Over twenty two years of experience as a personal assistant
•
Over fourteen years of experience using the internet for research purposes
•
Excellent computer skills
•
Exceptional command of the English language
•
Quick learner with superb retention skills
•
Keen attention to detail, with outstanding evaluative and deductive skills
•
Flexibility with hours
•
I am quite proficient with regard to the English language, and my comprehension skills are exceptional. I
learn quickly, am able to retain that knowledge, as well as apply it to situations as they arise.
I have every confidence that I would excel as a Search Engine Evaluator, and that this position is a perfect fit
for me. In my many years of using the internet for my own research, or for my clients, I have found that at times
you must be resourceful in the way you search, in order to find what is pertinent and relevant. Depending on the
topic you are searching for, obvious keywords do not always yield the most optimal results. For some, this
creative way of searching may serve as a challenge, but I have seen firsthand how frustrating it can be for many
people.
Too often, I have wondered what it would entail to make search engines more effective and efficient, and
thereby making the whole internet experience that much more rewarding. I would love to be a part of a team that
will actually have a hand in making something better, for everyone.
Please see my resume, below. It will provide you with additional information as to my background and
qualifications. I sincerely appreciate this opportunity, and I hope you find in me a worthwhile candidate for the
job. Given the chance, I will do my very best for you. Thank you for your time and kind consideration. I look
forward to hearing from you.
Kindest Regards,
Shana Muraoka
