Hiring Manager,

Nairobi.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Ref: Application For BONIT0223-IT Officer

I am delighted to be applying for the position above. I have 6+ years of experience in leading teams in IT
development, and I am skilled at communicating plans and directives to upper management and the
leaders of other departments. I have fond memories of my time spent in higher learning institutions, and I
would enjoy helping your company reach its goals for efficient management of data, Network, server
including user resources and security.

While at Rainbow Ruiru resort, I lead the IT department in all endeavors to maintain the ability of the
hotel to manage client and staff records with an 85% improvement rate in the last two years. When
Rainbow ruiru resort instituted a new enterprise software solution to install an online Bulk SMS system
and Point of sale units together with new network infrastructure, I represented the IT department during
the research and planning phases. I coordinated with the project manager and the other department heads,
presenting the findings of the IT department on the feasibility of the implementation. During the
installation and transition period, I successfully managed the smooth transition for clients and staff
database and actively kept the server running 24/7. I also managed to install and configure network
devices and network the whole Hotel which entails a total of 123 guest rooms, 7 conference halls and also
staff quarters. More of my duties are there in my resume.

A competent IT department handles technical issues promptly and capably. In my role as acting head of
IT for Rainbow Ruiru resort, I direct our team in its efforts to prioritize and respond to all submitted
questions and concerns. Security is a vital concern for any organization, and I ensure that our data
repositories are safely administered. I keep the IT department up-to-date on all current security protocols
and updates.

Thank you for considering my application. I am always ready to improve myself and the people I work
alongside.

Yours faithfully,

Jonathan Siovi Wanjala.
