#job #friend #help #advice
Dear Luca, I am writing to let you know about my current job situation, hoping that you can give me some advice. I have decided to leave my current position at the Swaneset
Company
. I have worked there for several years now, and I think I have advanced as far as possible in
this
company
. I would like to work at a larger
company
 where there are more opportunities for advancement. As you know, my most recent position at Swaneset has been as a software engineer in the IT Department. I have learned a great deal about
this
 type of work and am very interested in it. I am hoping to find a similar sort of position at a larger
company
. I do not mind starting at a new
company
 at the same level as I am working at now, as long as I feel there are good opportunities to move up before too long. Since you have a lot of experience in
this
 field, I was hoping that you could help me identify some companies that might be a good fit for me. I would
also
 appreciate some help with my resume
