Dear Mr Jones,
I wish to apply for the position of Desktop/HelpDesk Analyst as advertised on www.jobserve.com.au.
As you will see from my resume I have demonstrated proficiency in Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Office applications. This includes the installation and troubleshooting of the high school desktops where I volunteered to assist the IT department staff. Whilst my troubleshooting was primarily on Windows XP desktop, I also gained exposure to Vista. In addition to my volunteer work I have also undertaken additional studies to begin my Microsoft certification (MCP). I have applied much of this knowledge on my home computers and look forward to continue advancing my career skills.
As specified in the advertisement, my claim to strong analytical skills are reflected by high grades in Mathematics and Information Technology subjects. I have also pursued extra curricular activities by way of volunteer Information Technology work to develop these skills and wish to continue on this enjoyable learning path.
I have an easy going character with well developed written and oral communication skills and a strong drive to learn and succeed. I would welcome the opportunity to present myself at an interview.
Thank you for considering my application,
Sincerely,
Job Candidate
