Dear Ms. Strand:

 

(Come to the point:)

I am applying for the position of systems analyst, which was advertised on March 11, 1999 with the Career Services at Nichols College. The position seems to fit very well with my education, experience, and career interests.

 

(Outline your strongest qualifications that match the position requirements based on themes you selected:)

Your position requires experience in computer systems, financial applications software, and end-user consulting. With a major in Management Information Systems, I have training on microcomputers, as well as with a variety of software programs and applications. My practical experience in my college's computer center as a student consultant for systems users gave me valuable exposure to complex computer operations.  Additionally, I worked as an intern in computing operations for a large bank where I gained knowledge of financial systems. My enclosed resume provides more details on my qualifications.

 

(Convince the employer that you have the personal qualities and motivation to perform well in the position:)

My background and career goals seem to match your job requirements well. I am confident that I can perform the job effectively. Furthermore, I am genuinely interested in the position and in working for Atlantic Coast Industries. Your firm has an excellent reputation and comes highly recommended to me.

 

(Suggest an action plan:)

Please consider my request for a personal interview to further discuss 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 a call me at (508) 683-4388. Thank you for your consideration.

 

Sincerely,
