When
developing a cover letter for a system administrator or
project management job opening, expect to primarily
focus on the broadness and depth of your technical skills
rather than on accomplishments. Although technical managers,
directors, and executives impact the "numbers sides of things,"
it's likely most systems administrators, helpdesk professionals,
and others in tech support roles will struggle to identify
achievements for their cover letters.
IT professionals include system installation, configuration
techs, field service, field engineers, computer analysts,
helpdesk, project management, and tech support. System
professionals: programmers, software/system analysts,
database designers, applications writers, software/system
engineers. Technical support professionals: call
center reps, warehousing specialists, IT trainers, technical
writers, technical sales/ business development. Web and
e-business supporters: graphic and web designers, webmasters,
application developers, e-business directors and managers,
and online sales and marketing strategists.
