Dear Mr. Stamford:
I am interested in applying for the position of Network Engineer, which was advertised on
March 12
Through the Career Placement Services office at New York College.I believe the position is a
perfect fit
for my background and expertise. It also matches my career interests as I leave the college
environment.
The position requires a working knowledge of computer systems, internet protocols, and
network
hierarchies as well as the software and applications to support them. My major in Computer
Information
Systems, my internship experience at the New York College Technology Center as a
programmer and
system consultant, and my training on mainframes, mini-computers, and micro-computers
are a perfect
segue for the position at ACME Services.
I believe all of these opportunities have given me valuable exposure to complex computer
operations.
Additionally, I have worked as an intern in computing operations for a large financial
corporation, giving
me valuable experience in yet another field of computing.
The enclosed resume provides more details about my qualifications. My background and
career goals line up well with your job requirements, and I am impressed by the reputation
of ACME Services. I am
confident that I would be able to meet the demands of the position and that I would
compliment your
already exceptional team. I would like to request a personal interview to further discuss the
position and
my qualifications. I will call you next week to see if a meeting can be arranged. Should you
need to reach
me, please feel free to call me at 555-555-5555. If I am not in, please leave a message on
my answering
machine , and I will return your call within a day.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,

John Cartwright
