Dear Mr. Jones:
I am writing to apply for the computer science co-op position that was posted in the
eCareer engineering job search system at Penn State this past week. The position
requirements mesh well with my abilities and interests in web design. I have also
uploaded a rsum for your review.
The job posting indicates a need for candidates with knowledge of various types of
programming and software used in web design. The computer science curriculum at
Penn State includes extensive coursework in C, C++, Java, HTML, UNIX, and SQL; I
have already completed most of these courses. I also have experience in using
several web development software packages. My experience as a student computer
consultant for the University gave me exposure to both PC and Macintosh operating
systems.
Please feel free to contact me at 814-865-5555 or jas1234@psu.edu to discuss my
qualifications. I would love to have the opportunity to speak with you about the coop position at XYZ Company. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Jennifer A. Smith
