Dear Mr. Hagar,

I am writing you to apply to the position of Systems Administrator. I have 7+ years of experience overseeing the operations of business systems relevant to your organization’s niche, and I think the skills I’ve amassed through this experience make me a great fit for Starlin Technologies.

My professional experience includes diagnosing and addressing complex network issues, hardwiring entire company networks, maintaining the highest level of network security and educating users on the latest system updates.

Here are the skills and qualifications I think make me the optimal Systems Administrator candidate:

Developed and implemented custom system solution during time at Rowlan Technologies

Created extensive maintenance regimen and Standard Operating Procedures for IT staff

Facilitated regular system education seminars for employees from entry-level to C-suite

Maintained highest level of System security based on most current IT security trends

Regularly presented system status updates to non-technical stakeholders

Earned Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Duke University

My educational background and systems administration experience are just part of what makes me a good candidate for your organization. My keen attention to detail and ability to manage my time are two skills I’ve mastered during my time at Rowlan Technologies.

I would love to discuss an opportunity to bring my talents to Starlin Technologies and help your organization succeed. I look forward to your call or email.

Sincerely,

Joshua R. Simmons
