IT Support Specialist Cover Letter

Prove your interest in this role. Pay attention to each detail to make it interesting and informative! Emphasize your ability to be the primary contact person in the IT department.

Don’t portray your interest in this role as a stepping stone up the career ladder. Though it sounds good to have career ambitions, most employers will be looking primarily for someone who is motivated to do the job that they are advertising for a reasonable length of time.

Show your educational background and technical skills. Mention your working knowledge of common information technologies and systems and your ability to troubleshoot IT problems. Demonstrate such abilities as an information security system developing, training, and assisting staff members in using high tech equipment.

Excellent technical skills will not have value if you are not ready to communicate with colleagues and managers. You will be involved in training and assisting staff members in using high tech equipment. It is a big minus if you are not a team player. Lack of communicative openness reduces your chances of getting a position.

Incorporate keywords into your letter. If you notice certain words repeatedly used in the job description, include them in your cover letter. This will prove that you understand what the employer values most in the role, and in the case that the employer uses application scanning software, you’ll pass the automated screening process.
