Dear …

Software Engineer advertised on Learnist.org

I write enclosing my CV for consideration for the advertised Software Engineer vacancy.

I have been a self employed Software Engineer for the past 2 years but now seek an employed role so that I can focus on the design and maintenance of software – the most enjoyable aspect of the job – rather than the paperwork involved in being self-employed. During my career I have had the opportunity to work within close teams and more recently independently, and have proved myself capable in both situations.

My skills also include persistence to get the project completed in a timely and efficient manner, and I have very high attention to detail.

I am available for a telephone discussion or interview at any time, although I will be away on holiday from 1st-10th November.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,
