I finished studying BSc (HONS) Computer Science at Anglia Polytechnic University in Cambridge in 2007 and achieved a Class 2:1
I  have been working as a junior web developer where I have  been maintaining and updating web sites on a daily  basis. This involved ensuring the site is fully functional and  implementing any changes needed to fix errors using Visual Studio 2008,  SQL Server 2005, IIS7, CodeSmith as well as creating advertising html  eshots for clients and sending them out to a database of 90,000 job  applicants.
During this time I have developed my knowledge of  these programs and working with C#. This has also given me experience of  working with and updating a live commercial site.
In my spare  time I have been further developing my skills in asp.net C# & SQL  through books and the internet. I have written a DVD ecommerce website,  and a creative promotional and networking site which I would be willing  to show at a later date.
I am interested in further self  improvement and am willing to learn new skills through training, either  in the work environment or in a formal course environment.
I am  now looking for a job in a web development team to further my knowledge  of this industry and improve my programming skills.
I was  wondering if you had any positions that I would be suitable for or if  you haven’t I would be grateful if you could keep my details and let me  know if a position comes available. I have attached my CV to this email.  I will welcome the opportunity to discuss any relevant post and my own  background in more detail, and would be available for an interview at  any time.
