With reference to your advertisement in The Hindu, I am applying for the post of the Software Engineer. I believe that my credentials and technical experience will make me a suitable candidate for this position.
Over the past five years, I was working as a Software developer in Chennai. Through out my career, I have acquired a very good knowledge of Web technologies like PHP, Perl, .Net and Scripting languages. I was working as a team leader for various projects and have guided new trainees. Now I am looking for new opportunities in this field.
I have enclosed my resume for your review. I would welcome the opportunity to participate in the personal interview to answer any of your questions and better present my qualifications. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
