Dear PLD Promotions,
My name is Nathan Rankin; I’m interested in filling the junior event manager position with
PLD Promotions. I am confident that I can aid in the advancement of PLD event’s reputation,
through assisting in the sale execution and delivering unsurpassed customer service to all
parties involved. I believe that my educational background and previous work experience has
provided me with a diligent foundation to be successful in all aspects of event management.
In addition to an exceptional academic understanding of event operations, I also have over
two years of event execution experience, working within tournament-based, retail driven and
conference event environments. Through these experiences I’ve continually demonstrated
my ability to positively influence potential consumers purchasing decisions, while
maintaining a focus on quality communication, and adhering to all company
policies/procedures.
I possess valuable skills and also the essential knowledge to become a significant asset of the
PLD Promotions event team. As enlisted in my resume I have experienced various different
workplace atmospheres including sales, marketing, customer service and the implementation
of events which has developed my communication skills and allowed me to better cater to,
and understand the needs of consumers and employers. I am also capable or working
independently with minimal supervision, or in collaboration with others, which is an
important aspect of belonging to any business team.
It would be a pleasure if we could further discuss the responsibilities of the position and how
I could be of assistance in supporting PLD achieve their event campaign objectives. If
possible, we could touch base in the next couple weeks to converse with one another. If you
have any questions you can reach me at ******.********@*******.*** or call me at (905)

Thank you,
