Dear Hiring Manager,
I am a Senior Technical Project Manager with extensive experience in a consulting environment. I have over 12
years experience providing custom software solutions to clients across multiple domains. In this role, I have
managed development teams, managed vendor interaction as well as customer relationships, collaborated with
key stakeholders and am well versed in all phases of the software development life cycle.
I feel that my project management capabilities as well as my experience with global projects would be an asset in
this role. Specifically, I would bring the following strengths to the team,
• Experience in managing complex projects
• Understanding of design methodology, process and standards
• Ability to interface successfully with different technical groups
In terms of the gap you see in my resume, I would like to be upfront and acknowledge that I needed to take time
to be with my family. However, I have used the time to broaden my skills by working with various non-profit
organizations.
I will be able to start work immediately and hope to have the opportunity to discuss the details of this project with
you at the earliest. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely
Meera Parthasarathy
