A good generic cover letter for a general IT job

I usually prefer to write a focused letter of intent but this is a generic one that might fit broadly in any sector without having a concentration in mind.  

This is a very old letter I wrote it to the first company I worked for: libanweb

This is another recent cover letter written recently for a managerial opening at an incubator center in Qatar 

To whom it might concern,

I have seen the incubator management post for “Qatar Business Incubation Center (QBIC)” and it attracts my attention for various reasons. Entrepreneurship is my passion and I have been in this field as a teacher, serial entrepreneur, startup mentor and consultant. In fact, my LinkedIn profile is best recommended for Entrepreneurship, Strategy, Leadership, Management and Startups.

For the past two decades, I have launched three startups in Lebanon, Canada and Saudi Arabia. I have also studied and taught entrepreneurship at John Molson School of Business whether for students’ entrepreneurship, hi-tech, or social and sustainable startups. I have also participated in various incubators programs in Montreal.

I am sure I will have impressive toolbox and added value that I can contribute to the programs of QBIC in terms of entrepreneurs’’ selection, support, technical analysis, R&D resources, and business plan review, coaching, consultation and growth strategic plans. In addition, I can work with advanced startup on acquiring the right lean tools and systems to boost their productivity and profitability chances.

I would like to thank you in advance for the consideration of my application and I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Bilal Abdul Kader, MBA, PhDc
