Dear Joseph Lee:

I am writing in response to your advertisement that is posted in Cal Poly Pomona’s career services management system. After reviewing the job description for the computer assistant position, I am sure there would be a great fit between my skills and interests and your needs.

As a current student of Cal Poly Pomona, I have been able to develop and refine my leadership, communication, problem solving, and decision making skills while working on hands-on and team projects. I am also the Vice President of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity in which I have learned to work efficiently and effectively with other members to achieve a common goal. As Vice President, I have also learned to organize events, work within strict budgets, reach out to different organizations, and meet deadlines in a calm and composed manner.

Aside from what I have learned at Cal Poly Pomona, I also learned a tremendous amount during my previous job as a technical intern for 211LACounty. During this employment, I was able to interact with actual end-users and put my skills into practice. I learned how to troubleshoot and resolve problems quickly while constantly researching new and better technologies that would allow end-users and the tech team to conduct their jobs more efficiently.

I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss the available intern position as I am certain that I will be a great asset to your organization. For any questions or to schedule an interview, please contact me at (831) 596-9564 or at javendano@csupomona.edu.

Sincerely,

Joshua Avendaño
