Dear Human Resource Representative
As detailed in my resume, I have a bachelor’s of science degree in information technology with
a software systems engineering concentration. I am currently leading a UAT testing team and testing
software applications at Citibank in Sioux Falls, SD. In addition to my education and software testing
experience, my exceptional typing and communication skills and the ability to successfully handle
multiple responsibilities at once, would make me an asset to Beyondtek’s Software Development
team. I’m a proud member of PMI, Sioux Falls Chapter. I obtained experience in project management
in college and at Citibank. I have proven to provide strong organizational and technical skills, which
would be beneficial to your organization.
My education has cemented the importance of the fundamental best practices and standards
in software development with the following examples; CMMI, Lean Thinking and ISO. In addition to
best practices, I also have experience with the following examples of software development life-cycle
methodologies; Agile/Scrum Agile/XP and Waterfall. Throughout the course of my time at Colorado
Technical University, I have successfully created an array of Java applications with hands on learning
experience. I have also designed and developed two SQL databases with Access and Microsoft SQL
Server 2008. In addition to SQL and Java development, I have also planned and developed 2
personal HTML/CSS style web-sites. With the combination of my planning, design, development and
testing experience, I will be ready and capable to provide an enhancement to Beyondtek’s Software
Development team.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Please feel free to contact me should you have any
questions or to schedule an interview. I look forward to meeting you and the possibility of becoming a
key member of your organization.
Sincerely,
Chad Gayken
