Dear Hiring Manager,

I’m delighted to be applying for the open Network Engineer position at Flagship Engineering. I believe that with my effective and well-honed analytical and troubleshooting skills, I can add value to your infrastructure by smoothing along all of the communications between your company’s networked devices. Given how many important company activities take place across computer networks these days, I understand that this is a position that carries great responsibility with it. However, with my diligence, problem-solving skills and openness to learning from all those with whom I work, I believe that I would be an asset to Flagship Engineering.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Westwood University. To further improve my skills in the area of computer networking, I passed the certification exams for Cisco’s CCNA and CCNP routing and switching program, which required me to set up a network of my own, configure a wide host of devices for it, ensure that all routers were functioning properly and then resolve a wide array of actual issues that would be inflicted upon the network. In particular, as part of my CCNP certification exam, I was able to restore a network’s functioning and remove all malware infecting it within two hours of Cisco’s technicians having sabotaged the network.

After this, I interned for a year at Crossover Software, learning the trade from more experienced network engineers. While working with a group of other interns and more experienced technicians, I was able to help increase network efficiency and cut down on latency by 15%. Thus, I have a good deal of hands-on experience with all aspects of networks and how they function.

I thank you for your time and consideration in examining my qualifications for this position. I very much look forward to continuing to the next stage of the hiring process with Flagship. From there, I hope to start a fulfilling and productive career in which I will be able to learn from other IT engineers on your team and become a part of the Flagship Engineering family.

Sincerely,

Jensen Pope”
