Dear Ms J Smith,

Re Position: Assistant Project Manager, reference: SA111

I wish to apply for the above position as listed on www.desired-careers.com on 10 th December, 2004. I am particularly excited about this opportunity because I am interested in the employment potential and the opportunities for personal growth that this position offers.

I have just completed my degree in Bachelor of Information Technology at Melbourne University with majors in Networking and minors in Management, and achieved a distinction average.

As well as studying I have obtained valuable work experience. This includes working as a customer service representative at a popular clothing store, as a project manager and Mathematics tutor. These experiences enabled me to mature and focus on my career plans and to further develop my teamwork, communication and interpersonal skills.

I was involved in a major computing project as a Project Manager. I was able to build excellent working relationships with team members through coordinating scheduled tasks, monitoring progress, disseminating information, align deviated tasks and develop trust and respect within our project team. This experience has helped me to develop problem solving skills, self-confidence and leadership abilities.

Enclosed is my résumé. I would very much appreciate the opportunity to discuss my application further with you at an interview. Should you require any additional information I can be contacted anytime on 1111 111 111

Yours sincerely

John Smith
