Dear Hiring Administrator:
This letter is to serve as a generic cover for IT Director positions. Based on my experience and
skills in the IT industry, I am confident that I would be an excellent candidate in this role. I have
a strong background in network management and support. I have over 28 years in the IT field;
the last 18 have been in a hands-on management role, being at least the director level. I have
also done consulting work for various law firms, doctor’s offices and financial firms; from digital
forensic discovery, to policy authoring and general IT work. I am well versed at communicating
to an audience with a wide range of technology experience, from C-level officers to staff and
customers. I have experience with HIPAA, SOX and FERPA compliance rules. Project and
vendor management have been key roles of my last three positions. I have implemented
integrated database applications, from outlining a needs analysis to selecting a vendor, and
installation and training. I am comfortable working with cross-functional groups. I have
experience with State & Local government, K-12 Education, Non-Profit and For-Profit
organizations.
My resume that highlights my ability/knowledge/expertise in the IT field is enclosed. I am equally
comfortable directing a team, building a network infrastructure, or investigating security issues
that have come up. I have done policy authoring and compliance work for several agencies. I
have re-worked technology infrastructure from the ground up, and I have creatively extended
the useful life of equipment, when necessary. I have replaced phone systems, both digital and
VOIP technologies. While I do not have a degree, I feel that my longevity in this field is
commensurate, and am actively pursuing various certifications.
I possess a Michigan driver’s license with a spotless record, as well as a valid U.S. Passport
with no travel restrictions. Relocation is welcome, for the right opportunity.
I am excited about finding my next challenge. Thank you in advance for your time. Please do
not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Kind regards,
