Mr. Sam Jones
Director of Marketing
Creative Communications
3 Creative Way
Philadelphia, PA 19106
Dear Mr. Jones:
During the course of my research on local businesses, I became aware of, and impressed by
Creative Communications through your website. Therefore, I was pleased to see your vacancy
announcement for a Marketing Assistant in the employment section. I would like very much to
be considered for the position.
I am a recent college graduate seeking an entry level position in marketing. During the past four
years, I was president of the campus chapter of the American Marketing Association. As
president, I was able to increase membership by forty-eight percent. Achieving these results
required strong leadership skills and a great team.
Furthermore, I have developed the personal attributes that will lead to my success as your
Marketing Assistant. These include personal motivation, leadership, determination, creativity
and an entrepreneurial and competitive attitude.
I am looking forward to the opportunity to discuss my techniques with you in a personal
interview. Next week I will call you to arrange a time for us to meet. I am confident that I can
make an immediate and valuable contribution to the achievement of Creative Communications'
long term goals. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Confident Smith
