To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Selwyn McKenzie Jr, I am a college graduate currently seeking
for employment. I have 5+ of IT experience and working with computers.
Personally I have a love for computers and the growth of technology that
far surpasses that of my peers. I am also currently working on developing
iOS applications and I've recently taken up photography as a new hobby.
On May 11 2013, I've officially completed my studies at Prairie View A&M
University at the school of Engineering with a Bachelor's degree in
Computer Science. Over the years while continuing my studies here in the
United States I have been afforded the opportunity to return to my native
home, Nassau, Bahamas during each summer to participate in an Internship
position with Bahamian Governments passport office. I was fortunate to have
been placed within the IT department, where I was educated with a valuable
and rewarding experience while working with some of the best IT personnel
our government has to offer. During my internship I learned the entire
process of developing electronic passports, information retrieval of
citizens and troubleshooting major problems and errors within the system.
During my senior year at Prairie View A & M University, while on a design
project, I was appointed group leader for our Senior Design project in
which we developed an application for all android devices. Along with my
two group members we overcame a lot of obstacles and adversities for the
completion of this project and I must say it was well worth it receiving
the only A grade amongst every other group that also participated.
I am a very quick learner and I am always eager to learn more about
anything involving technology and new operating systems. It would be my
pleasure to have your consideration for a position at your company within
the Information Technology department where I can utilize my skills and
gain further experience on a larger corporate scale. I am a very well
organized individual and I truly feel I can be an asset to your company in
an IT related area.
I would also appreciate having the opportunity in further discussing my
qualifications. I can be reached by via email at *********@*******.***,
*********@*****.*** or via cellular device at 832-***-****. Thank you for
your consideration.
Sincerely,
Selwyn McKenzie Jr.
