Ms. XXXXXX XXXXXXX Marketing Manager
Pocket Books Publisher
3001 Avenue of the Americas
New York, New York xxxxx
Dear Ms. XXXXXXX,
In response to the job vacancy recently posted in the Career Services
Office at Fitchburg State College, I would like to apply for the
position of Publicity Assistant with Pocket Books.
My uncle, Mr. Elmer Fudd, whom I am told you have worked with on
a number of philanthropic projects, recently spoke with me about
your department's commitment to creative advertising techniques.
Your efforts to connect with a wider variety of consumers through
such programs as REACH are a great indication of your company's
ability to innovate. I would like to be associated with such an
energetic department. I am especially interested in the responsibilities
described in the position vacancy. I believe my education, skills
and experience, described in the enclosed resume, would enable me
to become an effective member of the Pocket Books team.
My qualifications for a position in the advertising area of publishing
are based on a combination of both education, skills and experience.
I will be graduating in May from Fitchburg State College with a
Bachelor of Arts degree in Art. In addition to my Studio Art curriculum,
I have taken several courses in marketing and design that are recommended
for people interested in mass marketing. Both coursework and extracurricular
experience--as Art editor of the Fitchburg Review, as promotions
artist for Music Fitchburg, as a work/study student in the college
public relations otice for three years, and as an active member
of the American Advertising Association--have helped me develop
the necessary writing and speaking skills for a career in advertising.
I also have experience working for Waldenbooks, a book retailer,
for the past three summers. In this job, I was able to interact
with publishing company representatives and gain better understanding
of the mass marketing industry from the publisher's viewpoint. My
enclosed resume further outlines my skills and experience.
I look forward to discussing with you the contribution I can make
to Pocket Books in the position of Publicity Assistant. I am available
for an interview at your convenience. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
XXXXXX XXXXXXXX
