Motivation Letter IT Consultant

A good motivation letter for IT Consultant connects a concrete personal experience with what the position actually requires - not a summary of the CV. Structure: salutation, a concrete reference to the position or company, a substantiated example from your own experience, an honest closing.

Example

Dear Ms. Bucher During my internship at a Bern-based consulting firm, I worked on two mandates: a system evaluation for a municipality and a process analysis at a medical technology manufacturer. What appeals to me about this work is the variety - understanding enough of an unfamiliar industry in eight weeks to say something useful to the people involved. For the system evaluation, I developed the criteria catalogue and prepared the assessment of the four vendors. The municipal council chose the second-placed solution because operating costs over ten years tipped the balance - a calculation I contributed. I speak French at C1 level and would enjoy taking on mandates in French-speaking Switzerland as well. Kind regards

Common Mistakes

• The cover letter is generic, even though consulting firms pay close attention to expression
• No statement on why consulting rather than a line position
• French language skills are missing, even though many mandates are in French-speaking Switzerland
• Willingness to travel and workload are left out
