August * *th, * ***

Dear L adies a nd G entlemen,

If I w ere t o u se o ne w ord t o d escribe m yself I w ould c hoose t his o ne: D ifferent. The difference begins with the attached resume, as it is longer than the norm and includes an addendum of testimonials. If you are using application tracking software it may bounce my resume out of contention. But, my goal is to provide you with as much information as possible rather than too little. As a nationally-noted marketing expert I feel strongly that the more information y ou h ave a bout m e - t he b etter. I am writing to you because I am interested in the position that you have posted. As you read through my resume you will discover that I have had a stellar career with measurable accomplishments. My business partners and I recently sold our very successful private marketing f irm, a nd i t i s a n i deal t ime f or m e t o f ind a n ew o pportunity. My resume will show you a career path that includes everything from dynamic startups to Fortune 500 companies such as Lockheed Martin, Google, Honeywell and Apple. I am also one of a very small handful of experts that actually utilized my skill set on behalf of the country beginning shortly after 9-11-2001. Additionally, you will note my involvement with the largest event on the planet - soccer’s quadrennial World Cup. You will also see some overlapping dates, as there are times when I worked for or consulted with more than one entity at a time, thanks in part to the cutting edge methodologies that I used and the consortium of experts I could tap into at my firm. Finally, you will notice that my educational background and advanced degrees coupled with other diverse experience in both the public and private sectors allows for added value on behalf of employers - including top notch C-Suite management skills that l ed t o m y p romotion a t o ne f irm t o t he C OO r ole - a fter o nly s ix m onths a t t he c ompany. I am eager to roll up my sleeves and work again not because I have to - but because I want to. I am not one to sit around and do nothing nor do I want to play golf every day. I will leave that to my f ormer b usiness p artners. W hat I w ant t o d o i s m ake a r eal a nd g enuine d ifference - f or y ou. If we have the chance to meet I would like to not only tell you about me but additionally, let you know my ideas and thoughts as to how I can make an impact for you.
