applications and technical innovations? If so, please consider my enclosed resume.
Since 1999, I have served as a software engineer for Action Company, where I have been repeatedly
recognized for developing innovative solutions for multimillion-dollar, globally deployed software and
systems. I am responsible for full lifecycle development of next-generation software, from initial
requirement gathering to design, coding, testing, documentation and implementation.
Known for excellent client-facing skills, I have participated in proposals and presentations that have
landed six-figure contracts. I also excel in merging business and user needs into high-quality,
cost-effective design solutions while keeping within budgetary constraints.
My technical expertise includes cross-platform proficiency (Windows, UNIX, Linux and VxWorks); fluency in 13 scripting/programming languages (including C, C++, VB, Java, Perl and SQL); and advanced
knowledge of developer applications, tools, methodologies and best practices (including OOD, client/
server architecture and self-test automation).
My experience developing user-friendly solutions on time and on budget would enable me to step into a software engineering role at XYZ Company and hit the ground running. I will follow up with you next week, and you may reach me at (215) 555-5555. I look forward to speaking with you.
