RE: Account Coordinator
I am interested in the Account Coordinator position. My education and past
experience would make me the ideal candidate for this position.
The hands on experience I have gained while working at a public relations
and marketing firm will no doubt be exactly what you are looking for. I am
self-motivated, always meet deadlines, have strong grammar skills, superior
organizational skills, great work ethic, creative and an excellent team
player. Not only do I have experience in coordinating special events as
well as coordinating extensive media outreach, but I am proficient in

My interest in Public Relations combined with my ambition to excel in the
Public Relations industry would make me the perfect candidate to join your
