Please find attached my resume for your consideration in response to the position listed on Craigslist. I am a highly motivated IT specialist with years of experience. Recently I took time off to travel, so in order to re-enter the IT support sector I am willing to work for a low wage or in the capacity of an intern capacity. Given my years of experience I could be a valuable and cost effective addition to whomever you hire and an asset to your team. I would welcome the opportunity to interview at your convenience.

1. Should there be a hyphen after 'cost' in 'cost-effective'?

2. In the last sentence, is 'interview' correct if I am hoping to be interviewed.

3. Are there any sentences that need to be improved?

Thanks.

@tanguatlay,
I would not use the hyphen.

The rest looks good to me if it's a writing exercise. As an actual cover letter, I'm not sure why you say "I could be a valuable and cost effective addition to whomever you hire and an asset to your team." I assume they are filling one position, and this statement sounds like the writer is hoping to become an assistant to the person who fills the advertised position. In other words, the writer should apply for the position, rather than an intern position which hasn't been advertised for. That is my impression, anyway. I am no authority on getting hired.

"Interviewed" is okay as a word choice. They will interview you, but you will also be interviewing them.

It is a well written paragraph.
