Dear Ms. Gordan:
Your recent advertisement with the Guilford College Career Development Center for a Sales Representative is of interest to me. As a candidate for the job, I offer you good organizational skills and an ability to gain knowledge about the market for your products.
I demonstrated my ability to organize when I served as News Editor for The Guilfordian, Guilford College's weekly newspaper. During that year, I was able to increase the writer base by 20% over previous years.
While selling ads for The Guilfordian as well, I had to develop knowledge of our advertising market. My strategy in selling ads consisted of contacting past advertisers as well as targeting Greensboro merchants who were heavily patronized by Guilford students. I was able to add five new steady advertising customers during my first term on the job.
I would like to talk with you about my qualifications for the job and my interest in Chemway Incorporated. I will be calling your office on October 17 to discuss employment opportunities.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely, (Pen-written signature) David P. Ross |
