It is with eager anticipation that I, Elaine Wickham, write this letter to you at [Company Name]. Eager, in that I would relish the opportunity to meet with you as soon as possible. The anticipation has everything to do with the fact that the position of a computer scientist includes everything I look for in a job.
I believe that I am the perfect fit for you!
There are many reasons for this, but I would like to emphasize the following:
First and foremost, I know that my previous work experiences have given my the knowledge and skills required to be able to handle and learn the tasks that are essential to the computer scientist position. Aside from providing me with the tools to handle the challenges any company in the energy industry might face, my work as a data scientist at [Current Employer] has also allowed me to explore my interest in creating machine learning models and integrating processes. Furthermore, I have gained experience in researching solutions to overcome data analytics challenges, which I believe would be very useful when working as a computer scientist.
My educational background is also a good fit for the demands placed on your new computer scientist. In addition to everything I learned in my classes as a statistics major, studying at Johns Hopkins University also gave me a large network and valuable experiences of a different kind.
Experience and knowledge are important aspects, but they tend to pale in comparison to having the right personal qualities. I am often described as organized, strategic and self-reliant – traits that I believe are all important to succeeding as computer scientist.
I hope that this brief presentation has given you an idea of who I am, and what I can bring to [Company Name]. I feel strongly that I would be able to meet your expectations, and look forward to being called to an interview so that I might introduce myself further.
Sincerely,
Elaine
