Dear Hiring Manager:
With over 20 years of experience conceptualizing, developing, and
implementing cutting-edge GIS and IT systems that promote optimal time
and cost efficiency, productivity, and performance, I believe I am the ideal
candidate for the GIS/IT director that any company is seeking. Throughout
my career, I have had the wonderful opportunity to promote the value of GIS
to countless organizations, provide vast technical training and mentorship,
and lead critical GIS projects that have truly transformed organizational
operations. I also have extensive IT training and expertise, and over 20 years
of AutoCAD experience. Some career highlights during my tenure as the
Bureau Chief for the Bureau of GIS & Project Manager for IT - County of Union
include:
 Built an enterprise GIS system from conception to completion, and launched
a thriving Union County GIS Bureau, earning promotion to lead all county govt.
IT operations for 500+ employees (helpdesk, networking, engineering, and
programming).
 Led Union County to become the first county in NJ to digitize and publish
Certified Drug Free Zone Maps using Arc SDE, Arc Info, and Arc Server to
publish maps securely, subsequently diminishing operational costs for the
Prosecutor’s Office.
 Directed Union County in becoming the first NJ county to automate the
Megan’s Law Notification Process in GIS, thus eliminating paper trails and
saving considerable Prosecutor’s Office employee efforts.
 Spearheaded the design and implementation of the Cartegraph Asset
Management System for the entire county (2600 employees in 18 dept’s),
effectively replacing four different asset management systems previously
used in various departments.
 Serve and continue to participate on GIS policy-making Task Forces to
developstandards to be used by other NJ counties.
I also have a Master of Business Administration (MBA) and two Bachelor’s
Degrees—one in Engineering and another in Management. Furthermore, I
am a Certified Geographic Information System Professional and have
certifications and training in Architectural Drafting & Detailing, AutoCAD,
ESRI, Pictometry, and Windows based servers. My résumé showcases
additional career accomplishments, but I am certain that a personal
interview will best demonstrate my desire and ability to fulfill the
responsibilities of the position. I look forward to hearing from you so that
we can arrange a time to meet to further discuss your needs and my
qualifications. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Matt Mathan

“I recently received a phone call from another
prosecutor’ office asking what software we used
for our maps. When I explained…what you and
your unit are doing for us, her immediate
response was could I send you to that county
when you were finished with us. I think the
appreciation and envy that another assistant
prosecutor has for the work that you are doing
speaks volumes.” ~ Theodore J. Romankow,
Prosecutor, Union County
“Please accept this letter as a hearty thank you
for training Police Officers throughout Union
County on the use of Pictometry. The reports I

techniques, but also for the understanding you
have imparted in the use of this important tool.”

planning for hazmat incident response and other
incidents.” ~ Ben Laganga, Director,
