              Depends entirely on the position, some positions you wouldn't submit a cover letter at all.

                      If you were applying to be a CTO of a college for example, you'd submit a cover letter, but at this experience level and where we expect you to be applying too. I doubt you'd actually be looked down on for not submitting one.

                          Now if the job posting says a Cover letter is required, well in that case you'd do it.

                          But again. . . real world things to consider here. Just trying to get you out of the hellhole you're in today.

                            There are a few things on that update resume that I highlighted that needs some word smithing.

                            Not quite sure how I'd phrase those to make more sense in the scheme of your work experience.

                                You don't keep a copy of any configuration files or anything at all with a tool like Veeam or Symantec Backup Exec?

                                  System maintenance is good though.

                                      I would never do a cover letter. Tells the hiring manager that you are desperate and don't understand the statistics of hiring. It's too much time investment on a single submission.

                                      There are jobs that require cover letters, you don't want them. You are already working at one of them.

                                        Generally speaking, no backups means that nothing in your business (or the clients) is actually worthwhile, is that true? Have you put consideration into how you would offer and manage backups in these scenarios?

                                          Are you saying because a college CTO is one step above intern? Cover letters are for the lowest of positions, below the professional level (so college might qualify.)

                                          But by the time you hit a full help desk tech, they are not something you would do. Certainly not for a senior position of any type.

                                            Then just move on to another job. You can submit to two more likely better jobs faster than you can make a cover letter for that one definitely crappy one.
