Hi Brian

Have you had chance to look at the cover and spec letter I sent you.

[Britec]

Hi Peter,

Sorry been real busy and forgot to post a reply, yeah I had a quick look at it and I think you done a ok mate.
it dont have to be to fancy, just be yourself, no point in having a wicked covering leter and cv which dont reflect you or what you can do.

So what sort of thing should I put in it because they might what I know about computer maintenance or repair or even ask If have done this before and should I phone the shop up and find who the manager or owner is to put on the letter.

Some companys test you...so you dont want to bullshit to much and make your self look a arse, I would say your a enthusiast and your willing to learn.
If you get asked a question do you know how to do TCP/IP for example...and you dont know much about it...just say you have touched on the subject, but your willing to learn.
dont just say no what is TCP/IP etc, talk about your strong points, take control in the interview and sound confident. I have seen people in the I.T. field that know **** all, but they still work in I.T.

Just cover all bases, example I work well in a team or on my own...because they might be looking for someone whos a team player or someone who can work on the own so your have covered both bases.

in your profile add something like this:

Hi Brian
I can't say that in my profile because it would not be true I don't have 20 years experience I am only just learning all about computer repair and maintenance I watch all your videos and listern to podnutz and pick up information where I can I have never done hands on but would very much like to that is why I just need a good worded letter to get a job in a computer repair shop if you see where I am coming from it will also help toward my A+

I understand try get yourself some old computers and have a play around with them, that way if you mess it up it wont matter.
I just wish I could help you more mate, if you lived close to me I would be more than willing to show you the ropes.
