Engineer Software
Resume:
To whom it may concern;
I am submitting my resume to apply for the position of Software Engineer. I found your company while searching for positions on LinkedIn. I am confident that I possess the experience and skillset to succeed at this position and make many positive contributions to your company.
I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from La Roche College in May of this year. Prior to graduating, I had over 8 years’ experience working in various programming languages. I am very comfortable with creating and troubleshooting software applications, and take pride in writing code that is both efficient and readable by others.
I have had previous experience working as part of a web development team. My senior project at La Roche involved creating a single-page web application in AngularJS. A central focus of the project was making the website user-friendly for visitors who may not be experienced using the Internet, and making it maintainable for administrators who were not familiar with AngularJS. I also utilized Git and GitHub to coordinate my work with other members of the team.
My previous experiences with software and web application design have prepared me for the position of Software Engineer at your company. I am grateful to have this opportunity to begin my professional career and look forward to hearing from you soon.
Respectfully yours,
Kenneth J. Sandala
