Dear Mr. Seless,
I'm following up with our conversation on Monday, November 25,h, regarding my possible work for Computers Association in Minsk. I am interested in the position of a webmaster.
My qualifications are based on a combination of coursework and experience. I have a Bachelor of Technical Sciences degree in programming. At the university I have also gained a good command of spoken and written English and written German. In addition to my experience working as a part-time assistant to Head Programmer at IBM enabled me to obtain the skills of dealing with Internet Communications. Working as a system administrator I was able to improve my skills as I had to prepare templates of different kinds and design spreadsheets and advertise ments for the employer. Currently I am employed as a senior programmer at Netscape Agency.
114
I believe, my educational background and my work experience qualifies me for considera tion for the position of a webmaster. This position is particularly appealing to me, because tem porary work at Computers Association has awakened my interest in the field of web design. And I hope that my skills can be of value to CA, as it prepares to expand and advance in the Republic ofBelarus.
I appreciate your consideration and look forward to speaking with you soon.
Sincerely,
Oleg Astapenco.
