Sample cover letter for Full Time position at Elixirr

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am contacting you to express my interest in joining the Elixirr as a Consultant. I believe that my diverse working experience along with my studies will prove valuable to Elixirr.

As a project based IT Strategy Consultant at X, in the past 10 months, I was a core team member of several diverse engagements. I analysed the operating model of the security organisation (of a large Telco) and also sized their functional areas based on internal interviews, industry best practice, analyst recommendation and peers. I led and delivered a market sizing and buying behaviour engagement for enterprise end-user computing while also presenting the final results to various stakeholders. I delivered one work stream of a high profile cost benchmark engagement and also designed and compiled the full report addressed to the CIO. The roles preceding X required and developed a mixture of skills involving stakeholder management, problem solving, communication and team work.

I will complete a Bachelor of Science degree from X in X. Throughout this self-funded programme, I developed strong analytical and quantitative skills through coursework in business and information technology courses. In addition, I was able to formalise previous work experience in theoretical frameworks and also transfer newly learned knowledge to hands-on experience at X and X. Furthermore, in my final thesis I aim to develop my skills and knowledge by analysing the strategic implications of technologies on the Telecom industry.

I welcome the opportunity to further discuss my qualifications and motivation for working as a Consultant. I am eager to apply my energy, experience, and enthusiasm to Elixirr’s projects and look forward to hearing from you soon.

My CV is enclosed for your review. Thank you for your time and your consideration
