Dear Hiring Manager:

I am writing to inquire about the position of. I graduated in May 2014 with

a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Sustainability from Philadelphia

University, and have a special interest in pursuing a career in the field

of environmental-related health and safety management. I know that I would

be an ideal candidate for a position on your staff.

Throughout my four years at Philadelphia University, I have taken many

courses dedicated to sustainability and environmental issues. In addition

to my educational background, I have also held an internship and four

separate positions that have significantly increased my skills and

understanding of administrative and organizational management. For example,

while interning at The Food Trust in early 2012, I was involved in the

development of the organization's monthly newsletter. This newsletter was

sent out to school districts and partnered farms throughout the Mid-

Atlantic region. This experience gave me a very unique, first-person

understanding of the importance of market research and organizational

outreach, outside of the hypothetical environment of the classroom. At my

previous position with Philadelphia University, I conducted tours of the

campus for prospective students. As a University Ambassador, I played an

integral role in the advertisement and student recruitment of the

University. With a finite amount of time on campus tours, I regularly face

the challenge of portraying on-campus life, discussing academic standards,

and convincing the prospective students that PhilaU is the right fit for

them.

In addition to working 20-25 hours per week during my undergrad, I carried

a full-time course load at Philadelphia University and maintained a strong

academic record. During this time I have also contributed to a number of

environmental projects. These include the development of an environmental

day-program for children at the Schuylkill Center for Environmental

Education, as well as the creation of a do-it-yourself energy audit webinar

for use within the Environmental Sustainability curriculum at Philadelphia

University. These experiences, partnered with my educational background,

strong writing and interpersonal skills, and desire to become a valuable

member of an environmental-based team, have prepared me well for a career

in environmental administration and management.

I truly believe that my sustainability-based education, laced with socio-

economic principles, would give me a unique and fresh perspective that

would be an ideal fit for a position within your organization. It is with

great interest that I submit my resume for review and I would welcome the

opportunity to discuss my experiences in more detail during an interview. I

can be reached at 215-***-**** or acgx5s@r.postjobfree.com. Thank you for your

consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Aaron M. Brown
