Dear IT Recruiter,

I am grateful for this opportunity to formally introduce myself. I am currently working for a government contractor. I have an active security clearance of secret. I currently hold the position of Programmer Analyst with Planning and Management Consultants, Ltd. (www.pmcl.com). My goal is to become an active and significant contributor to the field of Software Development and Engineering. I develop applications using Visual Basic 6.0 and Oracle 8i. I possess skills in Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS), GUI development, and object-oriented (classes) programming. I use control and analysis tools to build reports. My team and I use these reports to perform analysis on schedule related data. The information derived from this data is used to point out our past mistakes and potential problems. I have good oral/written communication skills.

As a Programmer with your organization, I would bring a focus on quality and efficiency to your group’s IT missions and objectives. Salary is negotiable within the range of $45,000 - $65,000. I have professional team leadership training with the military. As a Sergeant with the Army Reserve, I exceeded leadership tasks. My informal and formal evaluations reflect dedication, technical and tactical competence, and outstanding leadership. Furthermore, I know and understand how to train our soldiers in combat drill exercises, as well as technical aspects of military business. My ability to resolve many varied and complex problems, combined with programming skills and outstanding organizational skills, are indicative of my potential as a Software Developer with your group.

I provide support and enhancements to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer’s Regulatory Information Management System (RIMS). RIMS is a software development project that is approaching its fourth year of development. The RIMS system establishes a national standard for data and information requirements within the Regulatory program that can be accessed throughout the entire Corps management hierarchy; particularly by Regulatory project management personnel. This software application delivers data in a graphical format for review and analysis on the user’s desktop. Thus, users receive U.S. Army Corp of Engineers’ information in an easily understandable format for use in day-to-day operations. Additionally, this component involves development of a Microsoft Visual Basic application using a variety of components and techniques to create a unique and user-friendly application for the Regulatory community. I have also used Maple to solve and graph Differential Equations. During 1995 through 1996, I worked as a Law Enforcement Officer for The State of Georgia.

I am confident my education, skills, and experience would prove beneficial to your clients and would welcome an opportunity to discuss my qualifications with you in person. I am willing to relocate. I can be reached at 618-351-1109. Would you acknowledge that you have received a good copy of this letter and resume? Thank you for your attention and consideration.

Sincerely,

Elihu Eli El
