After: The Cover Letter

Greetings,

Are you looking for a support specialist for your organization? I am seeking employment as such in the New York City area. I found your e-mail address at an online job board and contacted you because your organization indicated it was hiring in the New York City area.

In the past decade, I've brought numerous benefits to each company I've worked with, including these highlights:

• Enterprise-wide MacOS X deployment using only open source tools, significantly cutting software licensing costs
• Deployment of QuickTime Streaming server to develop college wide webcast solution
• Increase customer satisfaction by closing 75% of issues at the help desk on initial contact (increased from 25%)
• Saved college time and money by creating a comprehensive student payroll system for Computing Services.
• Taught technical education classes for more than 50 students and managed a department of 5 staff.

I'd like the opportunity to explore and discuss your organization's technical support positions. Attached please find my resume in Word and PDF formats. If you are not the appropriate recipient for this e-mail, please accept my apologies, and if convenient, forward this e-mail onto the appropriate person in your organization with my thanks.

I can be reached by telephone (617-555-1212) or e-mail (sample@sampleresume.com) at your convenience. Should you not have any opportunities available at this time, please accept my thanks for keeping me in mind as conditions change.

Sincerely,
