hyphen/interview/to be interviewed

[Tan Elaine]

Please find attached my resume for your consideration in response to the position listed on Craigslist. I am a highly motivated IT specialist with years of experience. Recently I took time off to travel, so in order to re-enter the IT support sector I am willing to work for a low wage or in the capacity of an intern capacity. Given my years of experience I could be a valuable and cost effective addition to whomever you hire and an asset to your team. I would welcome the opportunity to interview/be interviewed at your convenience.

1. Should there be a hyphen after 'cost' in 'cost-effective'?

2. which word/s should I use if I am hoping to be interviewed. If neither, what is the correct phrasing?

3. Are there any sentences that need to be improved?

Thanks.

Many thanks, Bhaisahab.

You missed question 1.

The general rule is that when you have a compound modified (as you do with "cost effective) immediately before the noun, you use a hyphen.

Unrelated to grammar, I would suggest that instead of saying that you'll accept a low-paying job or an internship, that you say you are willing to be very flexible in your salary requirements. As it is, it sounds a bit desparate and they will surely low-ball you on the salary.
