Dear Employer:
I am
writing in response to your job for [position that is listed]. The position requirements and my skills
are a perfect match. I served in the US Army for seven years and believe my
leadership skills, as well as my knowledge in the satellite communications field,
would be a significant asset to your company.
During my
time in the Army, I served in Korea and provided reliable Internet and VOIP
connectivity for numerous field exercises as well as providing support to the
Republic of Korea Army. I was accountable for and managed a Joint Nodal Network
Equipment Shelter which contained computer equipment valued at over five
hundred thousand dollars. I oversaw the operations of the shelter and managed
the three men which maintained the firewalls, GPS system, Trunk Encryption
devices and phone cases needed to perform the job. One of the accomplishments,
of which I am particularly proud, is that this three man team could bring the
shelter from a travel position to be fully operational in less than twenty
minutes.
As a Non-commissioned officer in
the U.S. Army, a great deal of my work involved teaching and training soldiers
how to perform their occupational specialty skills as well as individual
soldier skills. As you will see on my enclosed resume, I have the educational
background, professional experience, and certifications for which you are
searching. In addition, I am motivated and enthusiastic, and would appreciate
the opportunity to contribute to your company’s success.
I am
confident of my ability to contribute to your organization. I would appreciate
the opportunity to speak with someone about this opportunity and learn what
attributes you are seeking in the selected candidate. Thank you for your
consideration.
Sincerely,
David Velasco
