Dear Ms. Smith:
Are
you searching for a software engineer with a proven ability to develop
high-performance applications and technical innovations? If so, please
consider my enclosed resume.
Since 2002, I have served as a
software engineer for Action Company, where I have been repeatedly
recognized for developing innovative solutions for multimillion-dollar,
globally deployed software and systems. I am responsible for full
lifecycle development of next-generation software, from initial
requirement gathering to design, coding, testing, documentation and
implementation.
Known for excellent client-facing skills, I have
participated in proposals and presentations that have landed six-figure
contracts. I also excel in merging business and user needs into
high-quality, cost-effective design solutions while keeping within
budgetary constraints.
My technical expertise includes
cross-platform proficiency (Windows, Unix, Linux and VxWorks); fluency
in 13 scripting/programming languages (including C, C++, VB, Java, Perl
and SQL); and advanced knowledge of developer applications, tools,
methodologies and best practices (including OOD, client/server
architecture and self-test automation).
My experience developing
user-friendly solutions on time and on budget would enable me to step
into a software engineering role at XYZ Company and hit the ground
running. I will follow up with you next week, and you may reach me at
(215) 555-5555. I look forward to speaking with you.
Sincerely,
Martin Stein
