Ms. Clark,

I am writing in response to the ad posted in NACElink.com for an Information Systems Technician (Job#1357). Please accept my attached resume as an application for this position.

My experience and personality closely fit the posted job description and I am excited to apply.
As a Management Information Systems student at Olympic College, I have taken advantage of numerous design opportunities on campus and in class, which may be useful when working at XYZ Company. During my web design class, I volunteered to organize a group that would design and create a web site using Flash technology for a local company. The project was well received, and the organization is using some of our ideas. As a student worker in the Electronics Department, I also designed an Access data base to track student advising appointments and progress. The position required a high degree of confidentiality as well as a person with the ability to work on the project until it was completed.

In addition to maintaining a 3.0 GPA, and holding an on-campus job, have also participated in various campus activities and leadership programs. By working on committees, I was able to demonstrate my leadership. Teamwork, and time-management skills, which can be useful in a professional setting like XYZ Company.

I am eager to learn more about your position, and would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you in an interview about my qualification. I can be reached at (360) 377-1234 and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

(Sign your name here)
