A cover letter is needed by most employers when hiring a candidate for systems engineer position. It is asked to understand the capacity of the person in managing the responsibilities that entail in the job. By going through the letter, the employer comes to know that the person has worked in the development of a computer system. If the writer has planned and written the letter, then he or she may also include the ability to devise a plan, find and fix bugs in the system.
Another field a system engineer could work is the power system engineering. Irrespective of the candidate's specialization and type of engineering project, the letter must communicate one's ability to handle client's needs at the time of system creations, and alter it in the future according to the change in needs. In a computer field, the cover letter must display skills in connecting and troubleshooting problems in software and hardware such as printers, and servers.
