Room T610

Dear Dr. Peter Angelastro,
I am writing to express my intent for application to the vacancy for Enrollment & Retention Specialist. When I found the job
listing for an Enrollment & Retention Specialist at Naugatuck Valley Community College, I was immediately enthusiastic that this
position could be just the career path I am looking for: a perfect match. Let me explain how my education in communication and
public relations coupled with work experience has prepared me to excel in this position.
After reviewing my résumé, you will see that I received my education in Iowa where I was a leader within the
Communication department. Because I was a leader within my academic discipline, I was chosen to be a Student Ambassador at
Clarke University. As an ambassador, I was able to be an advocate for my university while actively assisting the recruiting of
prospective students and engaging them in campus tours, lunches and networking events. Along with being named an
ambassador, I also held a position as a Communication department assistant. While this position required several tasks of me, I
held most dearly the opportunity to be a liaison between my professors and peers. I possessed a thorough knowledge of the
Communication program requirements and the course descriptions from my experiences and constant access to and working
alongside professors. This knowledge allowed me to assist my peers/classmates with choosing courses, staying on track for
graduation and understanding what was required of them by the university.
My employment experiences have allowed me to refine and apply skills of community outreach through programming,
event management, customer service, administrative tasks, networking, news writing, interviewing, editing, and creating internal
marketing campaigns. In my current position with Comcast Community Investment, I assist in many tasks that include philanthropic
efforts within communities to which Comcast provides services. I am responsible for database upkeep, budget maintenance, and
providing effective communication between community partners, scholarship recipients, and program administrators. My past
employment at Ideal Chiropractic Health Center allowed me to wear many hats within the small emerging wellness clinic. One of
these many hats was the retention of a patient base through excellent customer services skills, knowledge of benefits of the clinic,
and creating effective internal/external marketing campaigns to boost patient morale.
I greatly appreciate the time you have spent reviewing my application and hope that you feel I would be an asset to the
Naugatuck Valley Community College staff. I am happy to be considered for a position that will lead to a long-term career. I
encourage you to explore my professional portfolio in the link listed in the footer for samples of my work.
Sincerely,
