Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to apply for the Software Engineer position at Google. My interest in Google isn’t recent or transient. I have always admired how Google has
challenged the status quo and consistently pushed the boundaries of technology, making life simpler for everyone.
As a former financial analyst at Resume Worded, I developed a unique perspective for problem-solving. I was responsible for creating financial models and found myself often
automating repetitive tasks using Python. My knack for coding grew and I decided to fully embrace this new passion. I enrolled in a full-stack web development course at a local coding bootcamp and have since developed several web applications.
In my recent role at RW Tech Company, I
led a team of developers to create a financial tracking application that was used by over 10,000 users within the first month of its launch. My experience in finance, coupled with my new coding skills, allowed me to bridge the gap between the developers and the business team, ensuring efficient and effective communication.
This career pivot isn't a decision I took lightly, but I
believe in embracing change and continuously learning. Joining Google will not only allow me to apply my coding skills but continue to learn and grow in an environment that encourages innovation and creativity.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of contributing to Google.
Best,
[Your Name]
