Edgar
Bonet Pardo
Hello, and thank you for your time. My name is Edgar Bonet Pardo. I am a first-year student of
Microcomputer Systems and Networks (SMX) at Institut Castellbisbal.
I have always been interested in technology and how things work behind the screen — that curiosity pushed me to
start this training and to keep learning on my own beyond the classroom.
During my studies I have worked with the assembly and maintenance of computer hardware,
the configuration of local area networks, and the management of different
operating systems. I have also completed over 130 hours of extra courses
through Cisco Networking Academy, including Python, HTML and CSS — because I believe learning cannot stop
when the class ends.

Teamwork
I consider myself a proactive, committed and adaptable person. I am comfortable working both
in teams and on my own, and I take my responsibilities seriously even under pressure. My main goal right now
is to apply what I have learned in a real professional environment — and to keep growing alongside experienced people.
My goal is to build a solid career in IT infrastructure and systems support.
I want to develop real expertise in network administration and technical support,
working in an environment where I can face real problems and find practical solutions.
I believe that the best way to learn is by doing — and that is exactly
what I am looking for in this internship.
I would love the opportunity to be part of your team and contribute to your technical projects
while developing my skills. I am fully available for an interview to talk about my profile and
how I can add value to your company.
Thank you very much.
virtualisation environments, network simulation, and FTP protocols were deliberately
selected because they belong to the canonical lexicon of IT infrastructure and systems administration — the exact
professional domain of SMX graduates. Using these specific terms rather than vague alternatives signals domain literacy
to a technical recruiter, establishes credibility immediately, and aligns the pitch with the communicative expectations
of an international professional IT context.
(1) Hook — name and mutual-benefit framing to establish rapport and relevance;
(2) Value proposition — concrete demonstration of skills, tools, and self-directed learning with
quantified evidence (130+ certified hours);
(3) Call to action — an explicit, confident invitation to continue the conversation.
This structure ensures information density without cognitive overload, and mirrors the discursive expectations
of international business communication where clarity and directness are valued.
(a) Ethos — credibility is built via specific tool names (Packet Tracer, VirtualBox, FileZilla)
and certified external courses (Cisco Networking Academy), which function as third-party validation;
(b) Logos — quantified evidence («130 hours of certified courses») anchors the claim of commitment
in a concrete, verifiable fact;
(c) Pathos — the closing phrase «add value to your company» reframes the candidate’s need
as a benefit to the employer, activating the recruiter’s organisational interest.
grammatical structures that would sound unnatural for a first-year SMX student, while maintaining formal
vocabulary throughout. Contractions are avoided. Subordinate clauses («I believe that the best way to learn
is by doing») replace simple statements to add nuance without losing clarity. This honest register
actually strengthens credibility: a pitch that sounds authentic is more persuasive than one that sounds scripted.
90 seconds, that this candidate offers technical competence, a self-directed learning mindset, and a
professional attitude. The use of English itself is a strategic choice aligned with the internationalisation
context: it demonstrates cross-cultural communicative competence and signals readiness to operate in
multilingual, internationally oriented teams — an increasingly essential skill in the ICT sector.
