Dear Mr. Burns:
I learned of MEGATEK through online research using the CareerSearch database through Career Services at University of Washington Bothell where I am completing my bachelor's degree in Computer Software systems. From my research on your web site, I believe there would be a good fit between my skills and interests and your needs. I am interested in a software engineering position upon completion of my degree in May 2008.
As an undergraduate student, I am one of six members on a development team where we are writing a computer aided aircraft design program for Boeing. My responsibilities include designing, coding, and testing of a graphical portion of the program which requires the use of GIARO for graphics input and output. I have a strong background in computer aided design, software development, and engineering, and believe that these skills would benefit the designing and manufacturing aspects of Template software. Enclosed is my resume which further outlines my qualifications.
My qualifications make me well suited to the projects areas in which your division of MEGATEK is expanding efforts. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss a position with you, and will contact you in a week or ten days to answer any questions you may have and to see if you need any other information from me such as a company application form or transcripts. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
William Stevens
