Motivation Letter Business IT Specialist

A good motivation letter for Business Information Technology Specialist 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. Kaufmann In my final year of studies at ZHAW, I mapped the ordering process of an Eastern Swiss trading company, from the branch to invoice verification, and modelled it in BPMN. It turned out that three approval steps were being recorded twice; removing them cut the processing time from an average of eleven to six days. This kind of work interests me: listening, understanding what actually happens, and only then talking about systems. Your posting mentions replacing a historically grown ERP system - I know from that project how much persuasion work falls on the business departments in a project like this. I am familiar with HERMES from an internship with the cantonal administration of Thurgau. I look forward to describing my experience to you in person. Kind regards

Common Mistakes

• The application positions itself as either purely technical or purely business-focused - the value of this role lies precisely in between
• HERMES is not mentioned even though the position is with the Confederation or a canton
• No concrete processes are named that the applicant actually worked on
• The benefit to the company stays abstract: 'process optimization' instead of a number
