Dear Sir/Madam:
As an established Network Administrator for 14 years, I feel I would bring your company a wealth of qualifications in the Network Administrator position. My expertise lies in the ability to drive technology innovations, leverage information security, preform all aspects of networking, operations and risk management to accelerate business growth to gain the competitive edge. I am convinced that my experience has equipped me with a strong set of valuable competencies that meet your needs and would like to apply for the position with your organization.
I developed a passion for computers and networking innovation while working as an automotive mechanic, when computer integration was becoming widespread. Due to my entrepreneurial spirit and quest for learning, I began building and repairing PC’s in my spare time. When I was hired as Warehouse Manager at Black Industrial Supply Corporation, I convinced the owner to allow me to upgrade to a Windows-based system, created and installed a brand new network and researched the best distribution software for the company. As a self-driven person, I extracted the data from the AS400 converted it and imported it into an SQL database. In addition, I became proficient in Windows Server, Active Directory, SQL Server, Windows Exchange Server, and set up all cabling, hubs, routers and switches. In my capacity as Administrator, I also trained the staff to implement the new system and software and worked closely with vendors, suppliers and customers to make a smooth transition to a very complex system.
Although this position allowed me to appreciate a high level of autonomy and responsibility dealing with all aspects of planning and executing multiple technology projects, I am exploring new opportunities in IT where I can continue to grow my passion for technology. I am confident that my proven ability to bridge technology and business goals to provide productive solutions that increase workflow efficiency coupled with my outstanding professional demeanor will be a positive asset to your firm. I am eager to begin the formal interview phase and look forward to discussing the possibility of sharing my dedication and enthusiasm for technology further.
Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to speaking with you soon.
Sincerely,
Dwayne A. Weller
