% prior work experience
During my time at Alan Blunden and Co., I gained invaluable hands-on experience in professional software development within an agile team, collaborating with other teams within the company and maintaining clear lines of communication whilst solving time critical issues for all parts of the business.
My role primarily consisted of responding to issues that prevented brokers and insurance underwriters from being able to perform their jobs; whilst this could range from fixing up missing database transactions by hand or setting up insurance rate changes;
a majority of the issues reported would require extensive investigation between a number of legacy and modern software applications that would then require me to re-establish the functionality of entire features. \\
\vspace{1em}
% conclusion
I am grateful that you've taken the time to consider me for this position and am excited about the possibility of joining XXX and contributing to your continued success.
I am confident that my passion for problem-solving, coupled with my ability to work in a team and adapt to new situations regardless of pressure, would make me a valuable asset to your organisation.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experience align with your needs in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
