Dear Future Employer,

I am writing to apply for the position currently advertised on the career site. This position appeals to me for a number of reasons. I meet your preferred qualifications, as stated in the posting, if you consider more than just a hard worker or team player but a person that has a vision and can bring new and fresh ideas to the table that can connect with the community. I have the tools and information of what it takes to help build and provide to a company for them and myself to grow as an employer. I worked a day job at a high demand dealership, which helped me develop my one on one people skills, work ethic, and also gain the knowledge of the company and create ways on how to develop a better program for more revenue and interest of consumers. I graduated with my bachelor's degree in Communication in 2016 from SUNY Buffalo State College. With my degree it has expanded my mind to understand theories of oral, written and multimedia communication and how to apply those theories to persuade, inform, educate and entertain others. I also learned depending on the job description how to craft corporate messages for business communications, marketing products and services or analyzing the relationship between communication and society.

From what I’ve learned about your company, your values encourage any project that empowers and inspires your employers to be team players and leaders that will continue to make present and future customers or cliental that they are our number one priority. As a company you celebrate diverse cultures, wanting to provide business to all people and businesses. Long-term and Profitable Growth is your Strategy. This fits my values as well. I have a creative mind that allows me to devise innovative strategies for conveying the messages of what our end goal is for any new and upcoming project. . I want my voice and ideas to bring a different way of thinking and looking at the world. Getting people to want more for themselves and wanting to know how with your company, with my ideas I can help them build.

As you can see from the attached resume, before starting my recent job I spent most of my time volunteering and taking courses that involves production and communication, which are the most important topics to my future career in advertising and marketing. Throughout college my classes required projects which allowed me to work on topics either in social media, broadcasting, or cinematography, and be part of a team and also portray my leadership skills. It is my impression that as a future employer with this company, I know that I will be able to gain much knowledge and be a great asset to the team. This is work I would very much enjoy.

From the position posting, I have the impression that you need a person who can hit the ground running; I can do that. Please contact me for an interview to discuss my skills and knowledge, including my communication skills, professionalism, and self-direction, and how I would be a good fit.
