Dear Hiring agent,

I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself for your consideration for the position posted. I think that if you review my resume you will see that my 30+ years of experience will stand out. Through those years I have seen the computer industry grow from a curiosity to a serious business necessity and have been exposed to so many technologies that it is difficult to list them all in a resume’ without it tuning into long list.

Because of this exposure I rapidly progressed from computer operations staff to the “guru” of the office to the guy with the solution. The majority of my career has been focusing on IT consulting, working for smaller consulting firms where personal attention is mandatory. For every client I was more than just

“the computer guy”, but more considered as member of their staff. My current salary is around $73,000. With my extensive experience in the field, your company would not need to rely on outside consulting for more difficult tasks because I come from that field. I am used to being the guy that everyone turns to, to get the job done. Again thank you for the opportunity and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Richard Larsen
