To Whom It May Concern I am writing to you to express interest in the above-mentioned advertised position on LinkedIn.com. As a recent graduate with experience in Programming and Information Technology, I believe I am a strong candidate for a position at your company. During my time at the North-West University, I worked as an assistant at the Computer Science and Information Systems Department supporting both contact and distance students. My responsibilities included marking and project support for all the students, consultation and managing all administrative work. Previously, I was employed as a facilitator for the University of Free State and the Department of Education. Presenting an introductory MS Office course to educators that consisted of the inner workings of computers and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Paint, Access). I have also worked as a sales consultant during high school where I learned about dealing with customers and problem-solving. I have experience in the following software: C#, Java, Python, CSS, HTML, MS Office, Delphi, SQL, ASP.Net, Oracle DBMS, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides, VBA, Linux, Scratch, Virtual Machines, MS Access and Excel etc. I have strong conversational and leadership skills. I am diligent, show great attention to detail, and can work independently. I have been described by my peers as loyal, hardworking and a fast learner, and I’ve always been able to work without supervision. Although I am a recent college graduate, my maturity, ability to work with others, and excellent work ethic will make me an asset in any position. I am not afraid to train and learn and go the extra mile for my work, and what I lack in experience I make up for in sheer dedication to learning and improving my skills. I have enclosed my resume and reference letters. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Alwyn Barnard
