To Whom It May Concern:
I would like to be considered for the position of Marketing Associate at
Fisher Price in East Aurora, NY. I am a graduate of Daemen College with a
Bachelor of Arts degree in English specializing in Public Relations and
Marketing. I currently hold the position of part time Patient Access
Specialist in the emergency department at Mercy Hospital, and full time
Emergency medical Technician at Rural Metro Medical Services, and
successfully manage my duties and responsibilities.
I have completed two marketing and public relations internships. The first
internship I completed was at APNP where I created a logo and brochure for
a Home intervention program through a psychiatric clinic. The brochures
were distributed to the appropriate schools and facilities. From my efforts
the program received a number of interested clients and is an ongoing
program through the Williamsville Wellness Center, formerly APNP. The
second internship I completed was for Lorigo Insurance Group. During my
time there I was able to conduct sales meetings and offer ideas to
employees for higher sales numbers. I also created a script for a 60 second
radio spot on an AM talk station that has been broadcasted. I also created
print ads that have appeared in circulating newspapers in the north towns.
Through my education, internships and office experience, I have established
a strong background in office, communication and administrative skills. My
high level of concentration and excellent organizational skills allow me to
assure the highest quality of work.
In addition to my broad array of office and technical skills, I am flexible
to manage and can multi-task diverse priorities. My previous internships
and office experience make me confident that I can be a solid contributor
to your team.
I have attached my resume for your review. I look forward to discussing my
qualifications with you in further detail. Thank you for your time and
consideration.
Sincerely,
Kristen Lazarz
