Application for an employment as a computer scientist with your company

Dear Mr. Miller,

Mr. XXX, responsible for the XXX project at the XXX in Zornheim (in cooperation with your company) told me that you are having a vacant position in your XXX team. I expect to finish my studies by next March. As I have experience from working for the XXX in a similar project and since I have specialized in artificial intelligence, I think I would be a good candidate for your position. As you can see from the enclosed curriculum vitae, I have also acquired several other qualifications in the fields of computer science, electrical engineering and natural languages. I'm sure that this knowledge will help me considerably in carrying out applied research.

What fascinates me about your is company is your commitment to a steady research to make your customers the first to benefit from the latest research results. Apart from efficient teamwork capabilities I can offer a broad general knowledge, commitment to continuous quality work and my eagerness to understand problems perfectly in order to tackle the hardest problems and to find optimal solutions alone or in a group. Also because of the size and importance of your company, working for you would be a unique possibility for me to further-develop my personal as well as my technical skills. I'm not afraid of taking over responsible tasks and I will do my best to fully satisfy your expectations in me.

As I'm deeply interested in foreign cultures and languages, I am willing to take over temporary positions in other establishments of your company in other countries. I would appreciate your futher consideration and of course I will free myself from any other commitments to see you for an interview at any time you suggest.

Sincerely yours,

Encl
