RE:
Dear Mr(s).__________:
As a seasoned programming analyst, I know that when a position goes unfilled that means key software functions are becoming neglected. After reading the scope of responsibilities for this position, I feel my background matches each of your requirements and therefore I would fulfill all your expectations.
Unlike other candidates you’ll consider, I bring to the table key and well-rounded project skills — accentuated by a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and 5 years in the software field. At Geico, I was a part of the programming department, assisting site offices with PC-laptop and SmartApp applications. I troubleshot a costly modem disconnect problem for field agents, and I was involved with creating a Windows C++ program to correct memory leaks.
I possess intricate knowledge of programming facets, such as:
- Complete project management, from concept to implementation
- Hands-on knowledge of all Windows platforms
- Conduct an initial client needs assessment, perform on-site technical assistance, and create software customizations
The economy, coupled with the state of the IT industry, has caused me to be unemployed since 2003. This downtime was not a wasted gap in employment, but rather a period where I was able to address personal issues and learn Visual Studio.NET during that time.
I’d like to discuss this position with you further, so contact me at (XXX) XXX-XXXX. We can cover the goals outlined for this position.
Thank you for giving my request your attention.
Sincerely,
Job Seeker
