Dear <name>,

Ref: Seek Advertisement: 1R0211

In response to your advertisement <insert date> I have highlighted my qualifications as

they relate to your selection criteria for an IT Director on the Seek website.

“The successful candidate will be enthusiastic, energetic, and highly driven, with
the skills and tenacity to solve problems by implementing creative solutions that
embrace cutting-edge technology.”
 Twenty years experience spanning auditing, IT project management and application
development management with increasing responsibility.
 Passed CPA exam on first attempt; obtained MBA in MIS and Decision Sciences.

“Lead teams of cross-functional business partners to effectively determine project

scope and business impact.”
 In roles as a Customer Liaison Manager at Rowan Co. and Account Director at Client
Energy, I worked with business units to develop project scope, schedules, and cost
benefit analysis.
 I worked with business units to ensure IT strategy was aligned with over arching
business strategy.

“Coach team members to identify possible solutions and evaluate alternative

courses of action and facilitate process to resolve differing views and positions.”
 Used participative management in each role to ensure all personnel contributed to the
resolution of business problems.
 Completed a “Facilitative Leaders Workshop” this year that refined my facilitation skills.

There are other achievements in my background that I believe may be useful to your
company. I would welcome the opportunity of discussing these further with you and
learning more about this exciting career prospect.

Yours Sincerely,

John Jones
