Director of Human Resources  

As your company strives to provide the best in its field, I too will provide the best available in desktop support and Network Administration. I have over six years of experience in the IT field working in an office environment. I have also been a consultant on various projects ranging from Exchange server issues to building and configuring networks. 

I am constantly expanding my knowledge within information technology, a necessity when providing a reliable and stable IT infrastructure. Employees need a consistently dependable desktop environment to perform their daily functions and I will ensure that they have just that. 

Whether the problem is server down-time, an unresponsive desktop, or replacing a keyboard, there is no task too small or big for my skill set. I enjoy confronting these scenarios as they advance my knowledge and abilities. But of course, I realize the need not only to resolve these issues, but to prevent them.

Thank you sincerely for your consideration.

Respectfully yours, 

Timothy Dicks
