I am a software development professional with over 20 years' experience in database management on mainframe computers. After 11 years of work in the MIS department of Texas National Bank, I am looking to expand my horizons and would appreciate the opportunity to discuss the potential fit between my skills and your hiring needs. I was given your name by Vincent Forest, who is a training manager in BCS's quality control department.
My resume discusses my work experience and technical capabilities in complete detail. In addition, I would like to point out that I am an extremely conscientious and diligent worker, that I am eager to take initiative, and that I understand and accept the importance of on-time delivery for critical business systems. I am a team worker, and have received constant promotions during my tenure at TNB.
May we meet for an interview?
When I visit your offices, you will notice that I have a physical disability that is the result of a childhood accident. As my career accomplishments indicate, however, the fact that I am wheelchair-bound has had nothing to hinder my professional capabilities and productivity, or to dampen my enthusiasm.
