Dear [Name of the Company I'm applying to];

I am currently seeking a part-time job for the summer, to help raise my computer repair experience to all the computer fields, as I am very interested in majoring in the Computer Science/Hardware/etc in my near future during college, and to get into a computer repair career after college.

A little about myself, I am 15, turning 16 on January 3rd. I'm going to be a sophomore starting August at El Camino Real High in Woodland Hills, CA 91367. Because I am under 18, I have already filled out my Workers Permit Application, and just looking for a part time or full time job.

I've been working with computers and the like since a little before Junior High. During Junior High until present, I have been building, repairing, restoring, etc for myself, friends, and family. Including remote support with far away cousins, relatives, and friends of friends. And I feel that the next step for myself would be working in a computer shop, such as yours.

Of course, since I am only 15, I am still working towards my certification, specifically my A+ certification, in which I am studying for during the summer, with intentions to take the A+ course next summer, and to end the summer with the A+ Certification!
You already mentioned your age so no need to again. It sounds semi negative wording it like you do in this sentence. Remember you are trying to sell yourself here, you are the product. Keep it all positive and focus on that. Mention the negatives against you once but always try to spin them in a positive light. I have worked with people who were formerly homeless, felons, etc, and this is how we get them to move on with careers. Not comparing you to these guys just an example.

Finally, I am confident that I could help contribute to your business, as well as learn to understand computers more than before working in this shop. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may so have. Thank you in advance for your consideration, and hope to hear from you soon.


Sincerely,

Justin Hoang

Finally, I would try to round up at least three adult references for the work you have done. It's better they not be family. I would also try to get 3 personal references from authority figures around you like teachers, coaches, etc.

Looks good so far though, just tweak a little here and there.
