Covering letter to IT company on QA vacancy (I don't sure, that it's correct title - post is about the letter, which you send with your resume, CV). Hello, I'm Victor, 29 years old. My first work in IT has started a long ago - in student times, when I did a lot of "anykey" work in hosting provider. I've learned a lot about networks, Linux, *BSD systems and PCs (at all?) Then I was invited to developers company, to make brand new desktop operating system, with a very high security level. We ported a lot of programs from Linux programs to our system. I was the administrator of few workstations and tested programs on them. But the business was not so good, so in a two years I had to find new work. It was game development and localisation company. Yes, we in Russia translate games to Russian. Sometimes it's just a text translation, sometimes - full localisation, including fonts, texts, voices, videos, textures and in-game objects. There I did work of a quality engineer and some programming stuff: making Excel macroses for voice recording, plugins for Redmine and tools for extracting and packing game resources. Game development - great industry, but not in Russia, where people not payed enough and work most for idea and fun. So I went to online payments system as QA engineer to prepare their testing process for PCI DSS compliance.All of the work was made in a less than a month... and company's CTO was very happy about it, because before me there was no QA and system was very unstable and full of bugs. Oh, so long letter =) I'll make second part in a few days.
