GIS Analyst Cover Letter Examples

Dear Ms. Moore,

I am submitting my resume for the position of GIS Analyst. With a bachelor’s degree in geography, more than four years of experience, voluntary GIS certification and a knack for accurately analyzing data, I believe that I am a qualified candidate for this position and would be a valuable asset to the MapWorks team.

My professional experience includes designing, maintaining and updating GIS databases, converting complex data into information that is easily readable and accessible to the general public, creating highly accurate maps and considerable field experience. Over the course of my career thus far, I have learned that excellent team communication and a passion for geography, in general, are just as important for success as extensive technical knowledge.

Here are some highlights of my qualifications in experience:

Earned a bachelor’s degree in geography from the University of Illinois

Received voluntary certification from the GIS Certification Institute

More than four years of experience as a Junior GIS Analyst

Managed and reported several databases

Created several accurate maps

Helped to coordinate team projects

Used best practices for web development and data modeling

I hope to have the opportunity to bring my love of geography, strong work ethic and diverse range of skills to the team at MapWorks.

I appreciate your time and consideration and look forward to speaking with you further about this position.

Warm regards,

Howard McGregor
