Dear Mr. Smart:

I am responding to the posting on your company website for a software developer (ID Position #84762), since my qualifications match or exceed you job requirements:

                          Requirements                                     My Qualifications

Beyond my technical qualifications, I feel I possess the personal attributes that will make me a valuable addition to your company. While I like to really focus on getting a task done by myself, particularly when I’ve been given the responsibility of finishing something, I’m also a friendly person who enjoys working on team projects, interacting and sharing ideas with others. I also find great satisfaction in solving problems and enjoy gaining new knowledge in the process.

I am available to have an interview at your convenience. Feel free to contact me to schedule one at the phone or email address above. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Tom Carlisle

P.S. In researching companies for whom I would like to work, I selected Spectre in part because of your recent award, cited in Forbes, as one of the top 10 software firms in terms of both customer and employee satisfaction.
