Dear Mr. Booker:

Today on JobSearchJimmy.com I was attracted to your post stating an opening in your company for a repairperson in the technical department. I am available for such a position and I have four years of experience repairing computers and responding to customer questions––offering help where possible.

I've had good success doing the very things listed in the job description—handling emergency repairs, speaking with buyers prior to purchase, and trouble-shooting.

In fact, I am looking for a new position is because I have recently moved to this area and want a shorter commute, as well as the opportunity to work for your company, which has a high reputation for sales and service.

For more details about my previous work experience, please see my attached resume. I'm also available for a phone or in-person interview if you'd like to speak about the technical job and how I can best fill it. Please call me any weekday or evening at 777-777-7777.

Thank you so much for reading this cover letter and considering me for the job.

Sincerely,

Eric Job Searcher
