To whom it may concern,
Recently while searching for my next career path, I came across the position of “Entry Level
Event Manager” within your company. Instantly I felt enthused to apply for this position because this is
exactly what I was looking for along this journey of employment. I am an outgoing, confident woman
with a backing in both the automotive and financial world. I feel as though that understanding would
make me an asset to the company. One of the reasons I am most specifically interested in your company,
is because of your clients. Programs like D.A.R.E Canada and the Breast Cancer Society of Canada have
indirectly affected my life through the lives of those I love and that are still here today because of said
programs.
I am a self-motivated individual with a strong work ethic. I believe that the job is not complete
until we have surpassed client expectations, and for that reason I have dedicated my career into honing in
on perfecting the client experience. Through my numerous customer service positions over my
professional career I have come to have a greater understanding on finding the want within the need.
Using that within the company would be an asset because it would ensure client satisfaction, even when
negative situations arise.
I am committed to excellence without compromising integrity, individuality and positivity. I know
that teamwork and dedication can move more than one can do alone. With that, I provide my resume.
Although my positions have not been in a direct marketing environment, what I have, and what I have
learned through my positions, has taught me an insurmountable abundance of skills and knowledge that I
believe would carry wonderfully into your rapidly expanding company. I look forward to discussing my
qualifications for this position with you at your earliest convenience as I am available to start
immediately. I am available by phone and email at anytime and I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Katherine Lennox
