I find that most people enjoy bullets, numbering, or space between paragraphs.

I chose to apply for a sales account manager with NCR Corporation. I am interested in this position because NCR is a technical company that sells hardware and software solutions. My major pertains to very well since industrial management blends both engineering and business into one. I think finding a job in technical sales would be a perfect fit for me.
