assistant: Dear [Hiring Manager],

I am excited to apply for the Graduate Software Engineering role at [Company Name]. As a recent graduate of Kings College London with a BSci in Computer Science, I have gained valuable experience through various projects, including a self-driving RC car, a Facebook-like social network, and a machine learning-based dating app.

One of my notable projects includes the self-driving RC car, where I utilized Python to design and implement an intelligent algorithm for real-time image recognition and object tracking. This project helped me to develop a strong foundation in computer vision and machine learning.

Additionally, I have experience in developing a Facebook-like social network, where I implemented user authentication, newsfeed, and messaging features. I have also created an automatic translation script for converting JSON values to another language for interface translation.

Another interesting project I have worked on is a machine learning-based dating app, where I implemented a recommendation engine that matches users based on how similar they are to each other. This project allowed me to develop my skills in data analysis, machine learning, and database management.

Python is my favorite programming language, and I have honed my skills in the language through various projects and coursework.

I am confident that my experience, technical skills, and passion for software engineering make me a strong candidate for the role. Thank you for considering my application.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]

assistant: Absolutely! Following up after submitting your resume and cover letter is a great way to show your enthusiasm and interest in the position. Here are a few suggestions for how to follow up:

1. Send a thank-you email: After submitting your application, send a brief email to the hiring manager thanking them for considering your application. You can also use this opportunity to reiterate your interest in the position and highlight your qualifications.

2. Follow up after a week: If you haven't heard back from the company after a week, send a polite email inquiring about the status of your application. Express your continued interest in the position and ask if there is any additional information you can provide.

3. Be persistent but not pushy: It's important to show enthusiasm and persistence without being pushy. Avoid sending multiple follow-up emails in a short period of time, as this may come across as overly aggressive. Instead, space out your follow-up emails by a few days or a week.

4. Stay professional: No matter how eager you are to hear back from the company, it's important to maintain a professional tone in all your communications. Avoid using slang or informal language, and always proofread your emails for spelling and grammar errors.

Remember, following up is a great way to show your interest and enthusiasm, but it's important to strike the right balance between persistence and professionalism. Good luck with your job search!
