| <p>Dear XXX,</p> | |
| <p> | |
| My name is Tom Goldenberg and I am very interested in your JavaScript developer opportunity. | |
| I am currently seeking a position where I can blend my education, work experience, and passion. | |
| My personal career goal is to create software and web applications that enrich the lives of | |
| others and connect people together. | |
| </p> | |
| </p> | |
| Some of the skills I bring to the table are: | |
| <p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li class="bullets">Excellence at object oriented design</li> | |
| <li class="bullets">Ability to write tests and follow principles of TDD / BDD</li> | |
| <li class="bullets">Experience with modern JavaScript frameworks - i.e. | |
| <a href="http://facebook.github.io/react/">ReactJS</a>, | |
| <a href="https://www.meteor.com/">MeteorJS</a>, | |
| <a href="https://angularjs.org/">AngularJS</a></li> | |
| <li class="bullets">Ability to write clean, readable, and testable code</li> | |
| <li class="bullets">Experience with relational (SQL, | |
| <a href="http://www.postgresql.org/">Postgres</a>) and non-relational | |
| (<a href="https://www.mongodb.com/">MongoDB</a>) databases</li> | |
| <li class="bullets">Leadership and professionalism</li> | |
| <li class="bullets">Experience with Git workflow and Agile methodology</li> | |
| <li class="bullets">Strong meta-cognitive learning skills</li> | |
| <li class="bullets">Highly communicative and a team player</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <p> | |
| I bring a unique blend of work experience that includes a Bachelors in Cultural Studies, a Concentration | |
| in South Asian languages, 4 years as a University Sanskrit instructor, and extensive training in web development. | |
| This experience will benefit your team because I not only have the educational and technical | |
| foundation to successfully perform within this role but also the ability to lead and work | |
| dynamically in teams. My linguistic passion is not limited to spoken languages, but applies | |
| to programming languages as well. Although I began programming in <b>C</b>, <b>Ruby</b> was my first love | |
| for coding, and now I am passionate about the world of <b>JavaScript</b> development. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| Since December of 2014, I have been involved in many exciting projects. | |
| As a final project at the coding school <a href="https://www.devbootcamp.com">Dev Bootcamp</a>, my team designed an | |
| <a href="https://speakitlanguages.com">online language exchange</a> utilizing | |
| <b>webRTC</b> video conferencing. I also collaborated with a Fordham University business student | |
| to make | |
| <a href="https://sotracks-1-1.herokuapp.com/">SoTracks</a>, an event management tool built on | |
| Ruby on Rails and ReactJS. Finally, | |
| I created the app | |
| <a href="https://github.com/tgoldenberg/">ChessMentor</a>, a Rails app that connects chess masters to students through | |
| online chess games, video conferencing, and hosted payments through | |
| <a href="https://www.stripe.com/connect">Stripe Connect</a>. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| I am the perfect fit for the JavaScript developer opportunity not only because I have the | |
| experience, but I understand the value ABC Company is adding to its clients and the tech | |
| community overall. Please feel free to reach me at [email protected] or | |
| (203) 555-5555 for further questions. I look forward to connecting further with you. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| Sincerely, | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| Tom Goldenberg | |
