Hiring Manager
Konrad
Toronto, ON
Subject: Application for Entry-Level Software Developer Position
Respected Hiring Manager,
I am applying for the Entry-Level Software Developer position at Konrad. As a Computer
Science student with hands-on experience in software development, web applications, and
cloud programming, I am eager to contribute my technical skills and passion for problemsolving towards your team.
During my studies at the University of Guelph, I have worked on diverse projects that
strengthened my software development expertise and also broadened my skills by doing
multiple certifications that go beyond my major.
My current role as a Sales Representative at Bell has further enhanced my ability to work in
a goal-oriented environment, communicate effectively, and build strong client relationships.
This experience has sharpened my problem-solving skills and ability to translate complex
technical concepts into clear, user-friendly explanations which are qualities that I believe are
critical for a successful developer at Konrad. My sales background also gives me an edge in
understanding consumer behaviour and user needs, helping me contribute to customerfocused software solutions.
I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my skills align with your team’s needs.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Barney Stinson
What is one thing about the application you liked? Be specific–what did you like about it
and why did you like it?
One thing I really liked about my application is how I incorporated my sales experience at
Bell into my cover letter. It not only highlights my technical skills but also shows my ability to
communicate, solve problems, and understand customer needs—all of which are valuable in

software development. Many developers focus only on coding, but I bring a strong mix of
both technical and interpersonal skills, which makes me stand out.
What is one thing about the application you would recommend be improved? You cannot
say ‘nothing’ think of something that would genuinely help your colleague.
One thing I could improve is making my resume more focused on the skills Konrad is looking
for. I can highlight my experience with testing, performance optimization, and teamwork
more clearly in the bullet points. This would help show how my skills match their needs and
make it easier for the hiring manager to see my value.
You are the hiring manager for this position and need to make a decision about whether to
interview. Would you give this applicant an interview? Why or Why not?
As a hiring manager. The candidate seems to have good technical skills like programming,
full-stack development, databases, and software testing, which fit the job well. What makes
them stand out is their sales experience at Bell, showing they have good communication and
problem-solving skills. This means they can work well in a team and understand what users
need.
I do think they could add more details about their past projects in the cover letter, but
overall, they have a strong mix of skills. I would like to interview them to learn more about
their experience and how they solve problems.
