Technical Writer Cover Letter Example

Dear Ms. Smith,

I read with interest your ad for a Technical Writer and am submitting my resume for your review and consideration. With degrees in both computer science and English I combine the required skills to do the job. I have over a decade of technical writing experience. In my current job I have written and edited numerous technical documents including white papers tutorials and user manuals.

I have a thorough knowledge of the Purdue OWL Professional Technical Writing Guide and the AP Stylebook. With outstanding technical and writing skills I am able to create documents that are thorough clear and user friendly. Because of my superior communication and interviewing abilities I was able to work with subject-matter experts to immerse myself in a new software product gather information and identify relevant data. The resulting user manuals were well received by employees that were new to the software. I have been involved in the introduction of new technology to users from the first communication to the user manual to developing training materials.

I’d love to bring my experience to your company for our mutual benefit. I look forward to your call at your earliest convenience. I am available to meet with you at any time. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Thomas Tesla
