Dear Hiring Manager,
I would like to express my interest in an intern position at your company.
Computer programming has always interested me, because it requires a lot of
creativity and is based on logic. That is why I started my studies at
Alexander Technological Educational Institute of Thessaloniki in 2008. The
major subject of my studies contained a 6-months industrial placement which
I absolved successfully in Germany (at the Federal Office for Agriculture
and Food).
During my studies I have mastered programming methods and techniques,
database concepts, operating systems fundamentals, human-computer
interaction and other IT related subjects. I have been assigned a lot of
hands-on projects on various subjects, which were completed timely. In most
of those projects I had to collaborate with other students, something I
enjoyed very much.
Most of my experience as a web developer I gained during my placement at
the Federal Office for Agriculture and Food in Germany, where I became
knowledgeable with object oriented PHP, the Zend Framework, PostgreSQL and
Apache, while using the Eclipse IDE, the SVN version control system, XAMPP,
DB Designer Fork poEdit and pgAdmin. I have a complete understanding of the
MVC design pattern as well as agile methodologies. In addition, I gained
invaluable experience of a full project development life cycle and
massively improved my SQL skills by writing complex queries. I would also
like to inform you that I received a testimonial of my of placement at the
Federal Office for Agriculture and Food.
This position would provide me with the ideal opportunity to assist your
organization and to achieve valuable experience, while working at a company
abroad. I certainly believe that this working experience would be a
magnificent contribution to my internationally orientated career. I hope my
qualifications are a match for a position at your company. If you require
any more information, please feel free to contact me at any time. Thank you
for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
Evropi Gkegka
