To whom it may concern,
Not everyone has what it takes to quit a satisfying job, say goodbye to family and friends and engage in a totally new profession on the other side of the world. Well, I am not everyone and my life these past three years has been anything but ordinary! I lived and worked in two different countries in Southeast Asia as well as traveled an additional sixteen countries across four continents. Now that that’s all said and done, I am ready to settle down and get back to what I do best: sales and marketing.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree from McGill University – having majored in Psychology and double-minored in Marketing and Behavioral Science. I also have 4.5 years of sales and advertising experience in broadcast media as well as several years of experience in developing creative ideas and copywriting for independent companies.
With a highly-captivating personality, performance-driven nature and exceptional communication skills, I am confident that I will be a great asset to your company.
Enclosed is my resume.
I thank you for your time and consideration and look forward to the opportunity to discuss this further with you in an interview at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Hodgson
